törékenyebbek

Törékenyebbek is a Hungarian linguistic term that functions as the plural comparative form of the adjective törékeny, meaning fragile or delicate. The form is used to describe multiple subjects as being more fragile than another reference point or group, and can appear in attributive or predicative positions.

Morphology and usage: The base adjective törékeny combines with the comparative suffix -ebb to yield törékenyebb (singular). The plural nominative form is törékenyebbek, which can modify a plural noun directly or stand in a predicative position after a plural subject. In common sentences, you would typically see: “A poharak törékenyebbek, mint a műanyag poharak.” or “A törékenyebbek közül többen megsérültek.” The phrase “a törékenyebbek” functions as a nominalized plural adjective meaning “the more fragile ones.”

Nuances: Törékenyebbek is most often used when contrasting fragility among items (for example, different materials, objects, or groups of people) or when the speaker emphasizes vulnerability. It is less common to treat törékenyebbek as a standalone noun without any explicit noun or determiner, though it can appear with a definite article to form a nominal phrase.

Summary: Törékenyebbek is a standard plural comparative form in Hungarian used to indicate that several items or individuals are more fragile than another reference, functioning flexibly as an attributive adjective or a nominal phrase when context requires.
