többszik

Többszik is a Hungarian term that translates to "plural" or "multiple" in English. It is primarily used in linguistics to refer to the plural form of nouns. In Hungarian grammar, nouns typically have a singular and a plural form, which is often indicated by a suffix added to the noun stem. This suffix can vary depending on the vowel harmony of the word and whether the noun is definite or indefinite. For example, the Hungarian word "ház" (house) becomes "házak" (houses) in the plural.

The concept of többszik extends beyond simple noun plurality. It can also encompass the idea of multiplicity in other grammatical contexts, such as the pluralization of pronouns or adjectives in certain situations, although the most common application is with nouns. Understanding többszik is fundamental to comprehending Hungarian morphology and syntax. The system of pluralization in Hungarian is generally regular, making it a key feature of the language.
