világokat

Világokat is the accusative plural form of the Hungarian noun világ, meaning worlds, realms, or universes. It is used when the worlds are the direct object of a sentence. For example, in a sentence such as Megvizsgáltam a különböző világokat, the word refers to “the different worlds” that are being examined. The base word világ covers senses from the physical Earth or cosmos to a more abstract realm within a story or discussion.

Linguistic notes: világ is a common Hungarian noun with multiple senses, including the physical world, the living world, or a more abstract realm. The plural nominative form is világok, while the accusative plural, used for the object of a verb or preposition, is világokat. The -kat/-ket suffixes reflect Hungarian’s definite direct-object marking in the plural, with the exact form chosen to fit vowel harmony and the surrounding syntax.

Contexts and usage: In literature, film, and games, világokat often appears in phrases about multiple dimensions or realms, such as different fantasy or science-fiction worlds, parallel universes, or realm-to-realm journeys. The term is also used in scholarly and popular writing to discuss cross-cultural or cross-planetary concepts of “worlds” in a broad sense. Beyond fiction, világokat can describe the worlds of different cultures, disciplines, or modes of experience when contrasted or compared.
