szilánkokat

Szilánkokat is the plural accusative form of the Hungarian noun szilánk, meaning fragment or shard. It denotes small pieces that remain after something has broken, most commonly glass, but also ceramic, metal, or other hard materials. The term can be used literally to describe physical debris and also figuratively to refer to fragments of memory, information, or plans.

Usage and context: Szilánkokat is typically the direct object in a sentence. For example, a sentence might describe finding or collecting shards after an incident: A padlón szilánkokat találtak. In safety or cleanup contexts, it refers to the specific pieces that need to be removed or handled with care due to sharp edges. The word can be used with or without a definite article depending on whether the shards are specified: a szilánkokat (the shards) versus szilánkokat (shards in a general sense).

Etymology and relations: The word szilánk serves as the base noun, with szilánkokat forming the plural accusative. Related terms include szilánk (shard), törmelék (debris), repedés (crack), and törés (breakage). The expression is common in everyday Hungarian as well as in technical, safety, or descriptive contexts.
