zajosabbak

Zajosabbak is the nominative plural form of the Hungarian adjective zajosabb, meaning “more noisy” or “noisier.” Used as a substantive phrase, it refers to a subset of people or things that produce more noise than others, roughly translating to “the noisier ones.” The form is created by taking zajosabb and adding the plural suffix -ak, following Hungarian patterns for turning adjectives into pronouns (zajosabbak = the noisier ones).

Usage and function: Zajosabbak is commonly employed when contrasting groups by noise level. It can appear predicatively as the subject of a sentence, for example: A zajosabbak a terem végében ültek. (The noisier ones sat at the back of the room.) It can also be used in phrases where a noun is implied, such as a noisier group or in clauses explaining a consequence related to the noisier ones.

Etymology and form: The base adjective zajos means “noisy.” The comparative suffix -abb forms zajosabb, meaning “noisier.” The plural substantive form zajosabbak (the noisier ones) is created by adding the plural suffix -ak. This pattern follows typical Hungarian agreement and noun-formation rules, with the adjective used as a stand-in for a noun when referring to a subset.

See also: zajos, zaj, hangos. These related terms cover the broader concept of noise and loudness in Hungarian.

Note: Zajosabbak is a grammatical construct rather than a proper noun and is used in everyday Hungarian to discuss relative levels of noise among groups or items.
