többet

Többet is a Hungarian adverb meaning “more” or “to a greater extent.” It expresses a larger quantity, degree, or frequency relative to what is stated or assumed, and is used to convey increase in action or emphasis. The form is derived from the determiner több (more) and functions as an invariable adverb, not changing with subject or tense.

In usage, többet typically follows the verb it modifies or appears in comparative constructions. Examples include: Többet eszik, mint tavaly. (He eats more than last year.) Szeretnék többet enni. (I would like to eat more.) Arról többet hallottam. (I heard more about it.) Többet nem eszem. (I won’t eat more.) With phraseology such as minél többet, it can express “as much as possible” or “as many as possible,” e.g., Minél többet tanulsz, annál többet tudsz. (The more you study, the more you can do.)

Többet is closely related to többet’s base word több and is predominantly used to modify verbs or adjectives indirectly, indicating increased quantity or intensity. In English, it is commonly translated as “more.” The opposite form is kevesebbet (“less”). See also több, a root term for related expressions of quantity.
