szépek

Szépek is the plural form of the Hungarian adjective szép, meaning beautiful or attractive. It is used to describe multiple nouns or to function as the predicative complement in sentences, indicating that the subject is beautiful.

In everyday Hungarian, szépek appears in two main contexts. First, as an attributive adjective before a plural noun: a szép virágok is common for “the beautiful flowers,” though more natural word order is often a Noun-phrase with the noun first (a szép virág, a szép virágok). Second, as a predicative form after a plural subject: A virágok szépek means “The flowers are beautiful.” The form also participates in comparisons and other constructions: A lányok szebbek, mint a fiúk (The girls are prettier than the boys), where szebbek is the comparative of szép, while legs szép is the superlative form.

Etymology and related forms: szép is a native Hungarian adjective with the noun form szépség, meaning beauty. The plural adjectival form szépek shares the same root and follows standard Hungarian agreement for adjectives with plural nouns. Other related forms include the adverb szépen (beautifully) and the superlative legszebb (the most beautiful).

Cultural and stylistic notes: szép and its inflected forms are common in everyday language, media, and literature when describing appearance or aesthetic quality. In some contexts, the phrase a szépek can be used as a substantive group reference meaning “the beautiful people,” though more common would be explicit noun phrases or context-specific wording. Overall, szépek denotes plural beauty and functions as a versatile part of speech in Hungarian grammar.
