ugyanazokat

Ugyanazokat is the plural accusative form of the Hungarian demonstrative determiner ugya naz, meaning the same ones. It is used to refer to several items that are identical to ones already mentioned or understood from context. In Hungarian, demonstratives and adjectives decline for number and case, so ugya nazok (nominative plural) and ugyanasokat (accusative plural) are common forms in everyday speech and writing.

Morphology and forms

The base form is ugya naz. The main related forms include:

- singular nominative: ugyanaz

- singular accusative: ugyanazt

- plural nominative: ugyanazok

- plural accusative: ugyanazokat

These forms appear before a noun usually with the definite article, for example "ugyanazokat a könyveket" (the same books) in the accusative plural. The forms reflect standard Hungarian noun phrase structure, where the demonstrative and the noun are accompanied by the appropriate definite suffix.

Usage and nuance

Ugyanazokat specifies that the referenced items are the exact same ones previously discussed. It is typically used when contrasting with other items or when emphasising identity with prior mentions. It often occurs in sentences with a direct object, but can also appear in other clause positions when the determiner governs a noun phrase.

Examples

A gyerekek ugyanazokat a játékokat kapták. (The children received the same toys.)

A tanár ugyanazokat a kérdéseket tette fel, mint tegnap. (The teacher asked the same questions as yesterday.)
