érméket

érméket is the accusative plural form of the Hungarian noun érme, which denotes a small metal disk that can function as currency or as a medal. The form érmeket is used when the medals or coins are the direct object of a verb, for example: érmeket adtak át (they handed out the medals). The singular form is érmet.

Usage and meanings: In contemporary Hungarian, érme most commonly means a medal or award. For a modern coin, the usual term is pénzérme. In historical or specialized contexts, érme can also denote coins; in such cases érmek is the nominative plural and érmeket the accusative plural. The exact sense depends on context and the accompanying words.

Contexts: In sports and military honors, érmet often appears as the object of verbs, as in a sportoló érmet nyert (the athlete won a medal). In numismatic literature, érme may refer to coin issues from past periods; such discussions usually specify the era, mint, and denomination. The term thus covers both currency-related and award-related discs, with meaning clarified by surrounding terminology.
