ugyanekkora

Ugyanekkora is a Hungarian word that expresses equality in size or amount between two quantities or objects. It is a compound formed from the elements ugyan- (“the same”) and akkora (“that big”), and it functions as an adjective or determiner in phrases that compare quantities or dimensions.

In usage, ugyankakkora typically precedes the noun it modifies or appears in predicative constructions. It is used to indicate that two or more items have the same size or amount, often in comparison with a form such as mint (“than”) or mint a másik (“as the other”). The word can be inflected like other Hungarian adjectives to reflect case and number, depending on its syntactic role.

Examples:

- Két adagot ugyanolakkora méretű üvegre töltöttek, mint az elsőt. (Two portions were filled into containers of the same size as the first.)

- Az ár ugyanolakkora volt, mint tegnap. (The price was the same as yesterday.)

- Kérnénk ugyanolakkora adagot. (We would like the same amount of portion.)

Distinctions from related terms are subtle but important: ugyanolakkora denotes equality in size or quantity, while ugyanolyan means “the same kind or type,” focusing on qualitative similarity rather than measurement. The term is common in everyday Hungarian, in both spoken and written language, and it appears in a range of formal and informal contexts where precise equivalence of magnitude is being described.
