állítmányhoz

"Állítmányhoz" is a Hungarian grammatical term referring to the predicate of a sentence. The predicate is the part of a sentence that describes or asserts something about the subject. In Hungarian grammar, the állítmány often consists of a verb or a predicative noun/adjective that agrees with the subject in person and number. It is essential for conveying the main action or state of being within a clause.

The simplest form of an állítmány is a finite verb. For example, in the sentence "A kutya fut" (The dog runs), "fut" is the állítmány. However, the állítmány can also be a noun or adjective used with a copular verb (which is often omitted in the present tense). For instance, in "Ő orvos" (He/She is a doctor), "orvos" functions as the állítmány, with the implied present tense of "van" (is).

Hungarian sentence structure is relatively flexible, but the position of the állítmány is significant for conveying emphasis and the topic-comment structure. Typically, the állítmány comes after the subject, but inversions are common for stylistic reasons. Understanding the role of the állítmány is crucial for comprehending Hungarian sentence construction and meaning. It is the core element that provides information about the subject.
