vámot

Vámot is the definite accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun vám, meaning customs or customs duties. In Hungarian grammar, nouns are inflected for case and definiteness, and when a noun functions as a definite direct object, the suffix -ot/-et/-öt is added according to vowel harmony. For the noun vám, the definite direct object form is vámot.

The base noun vám has the plural vámok and is used widely in contexts related to border control, tariffs, and import-export procedures. The definite object form vámot is used when the customs are the specific, identifiable object of an action, for example in sentences that describe paying or handling duties.

Usage and examples illustrate how vármot is employed in ordinary and formal language. For instance, kifizették a vámot a határon means “they paid the customs duty at the border.” A vámot ellenőrizték a határátkelőhelyen translates as “the customs were inspected at the border crossing.” These examples show how the form functions as the object of verbs in contexts related to border procedures or tariff administration.
