áttételes

Áttételes is a Hungarian term that translates to "transitive" in English. It refers to a type of verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning. In Hungarian, áttételes verbs are typically followed by an accusative case marker, which is indicated by the suffix "-t" or "-t" after the object. These verbs express an action that is performed on or towards something or someone else. For example, the verb "olvas" (to read) is áttételes because it requires an object to specify what is being read. In contrast, intransitive verbs, known as "átlépés" in Hungarian, do not require a direct object and express actions that are performed by the subject alone, such as "fut" (to run). Understanding the distinction between áttételes and átlépés verbs is crucial for mastering the Hungarian language, as it affects verb conjugation and sentence structure.
