utcának

Utcának is a Hungarian word that translates to "street" in English. It is a common noun used to refer to a public road within a city, town, or village. The word can be used in various contexts, such as naming a specific street, describing a location, or referring to general street life.

For example, one might say "Sétálok az utcának" which means "I am walking on the street." It can also be used to indicate a specific address, like "A Kossuth utcának 5." This translates to "5 Kossuth Street." The term is fundamental in Hungarian geography and daily life, serving as a basic descriptor for urban and rural pathways.

The word "utcának" is derived from the older Hungarian word "utca," which also means street. The addition of the "-nak" suffix often indicates a dative case, suggesting movement towards or within the street, or possession in some contexts. However, in common usage, "utcának" is frequently used interchangeably with "utca" for the general concept of a street. Understanding "utcának" is key to comprehending basic Hungarian directional and locational phrases.
