táskát

táskát is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun táska, meaning bag or purse. It marks the direct object of a verb in a sentence, as in Láttam a táskát (I saw the bag) or Vettem egy táskát (I bought a bag).

Formation and usage: The base word táska becomes táskát when used as the direct object in the singular. The suffix -t is the standard accusative marker in Hungarian. The form occurs with definite and indefinite determinations and can be accompanied by adjectives or numerals, for example kék táskát (a blue bag) or két táskát (two bags).

Examples and notes: Common sentences include Látom a táskát, Megvettem a táskát, and Vettem egy táskát. When describing a bag with a modifier, the noun remains táskát, while the modifier appears before it, e.g., a blue bag becomes egy kék táskát in the accusative form. The plural form of táska is táskák, while its possessive forms change the noun differently (e.g., táskám for “my bag”).
