állapotkifejezek

In Hungarian linguistics, "állapotkifejezők" translates to "state indicators" or "predicative adjectives". These are words, typically adjectives or adjectival phrases, that describe the state or condition of a noun or pronoun within a sentence. They function as part of the predicate, providing information about the subject.

An "állapotkifejező" typically follows a linking verb, such as "van" (to be) or "lesz" (will be), and agrees in number and case with the subject it modifies. For example, in the sentence "A ház nagy" (The house is big), "nagy" is an "állapotkifejező" describing the state of "a ház" (the house). Similarly, "Ők fáradtak" (They are tired) uses "fáradtak" (tired) as an "állapotkifejező" for "ők" (they).

These elements are crucial for conveying descriptive information about the subject's attributes, emotions, or circumstances. They can be simple adjectives, such as "boldog" (happy) or "szomorú" (sad), or more complex phrases that indicate a temporary or permanent condition. Understanding "állapotkifejezők" is essential for constructing grammatically correct and semantically rich sentences in Hungarian.
