szekrényt

szekrényt is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun szekrény, meaning cabinet, cupboard, or wardrobe. It is used when the cabinet is the direct object of a verb, as in Láttam a szekrényt (I saw the cabinet).

In Hungarian, nouns are declined for case and number. The nominative singular is szekrény; the accusative singular is szekrényt. The form is produced by adding the suffix -t to the base. The use of definite or indefinite articles does not change this ending; for example, a szekrényt and egy szekrényt are both possible depending on context.

The word can be combined with other terms to indicate types of furniture, such as konyhaszekrény (kitchen cabinet) or ruhaszekrény (wardrobe). The suffix -t is the hallmark of the accusative case, signaling that the object is affected by the action of the verb.

Plural forms are szekrények (nominative) and szekrényeket (accusative). For example, Láttam a szekrényeket means I saw the cabinets, and A szekrények a fal mellett állnak means The cabinets stand next to the wall.

Etymology is debated; some scholars propose a link to German Schrank, while others suggest a native Hungarian development or influences from neighboring languages. The word remains a common term for household storage furniture in Hungarian.
