százat

The word "százat" is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian word "száz," which means "hundred." In Hungarian grammar, the accusative case is used to indicate the direct object of a verb or to express a destination. Therefore, "százat" would be used when referring to "a hundred" as the object of an action or as a target. For example, in the sentence "Olvasok százat," which translates to "I am reading a hundred," "százat" is the direct object of the verb "olvasok" (I am reading). Similarly, if one were to say "Elértem százat," meaning "I reached a hundred," "százat" indicates the destination or the number achieved. The suffix "-at" is a common accusative case ending in Hungarian, and its use with numbers like "száz" is standard. Understanding the case system is crucial for accurate interpretation of Hungarian sentences, and "százat" exemplifies this principle in practice. It is a fundamental grammatical element for expressing quantity as a direct object or goal.
