szürkésebb

Szürkébb is a Hungarian adjective meaning “grayer” or “more gray.” It functions as the comparative form of szürke (gray) and is used to compare gray tones, colors, or lighting. The word can describe things such as skies, hair, materials, or imagery that are more gray than another reference.

Etymology and form: The comparative is created in Hungarian by adding the suffix -bb to the adjective stem. For szürke, the form becomes szürkébb. The spelling reflects a slight vowel modification that marks the shift to the comparative degree.

Usage: Szürkébb is used when contrasting two or more items in terms of grayness. Examples include describing weather, mood, or color. For instance, “Az ég ma szürkébb, mint tegnap” means “The sky is grayer today than yesterday,” and “A haja szürkébb lett” means “Her hair has grown grayer.” Another example: “Ez a szín szürkébb árnyalatú” translates to “This color is a grayer shade.”

Related forms: The base adjective szürke (gray) and related forms such as szürkés (grayish) are used to describe varying degrees or nuances of gray. Szürkébb is most appropriate when a direct comparative is intended, while szürkés tends to describe a general grayish quality.
