ötmillió

ötmillió is the Hungarian numeral for five million, i.e., 5,000,000. In standard Hungarian orthography the form is typically written as two separate words: öt millió. The single-word variant ötmillió is uncommon and usually appears only in stylistic contexts such as headlines, slogans, or branding.

Etymology and form: the expression combines the cardinal number öt (five) with millió (million). Millió itself is derived from the French million, via Latin and other European languages, and is used in Hungarian for large-scale quantities and monetary amounts. The normal usage in prose is two words, with numerical values often formatted using spaces for thousands (e.g., 5 000 000).

Usage: öt millió is employed for counts of items, money, populations, and other large totals. Examples include: “A projekt költségvetése öt millió forint” (The project budget is five million forints) and “Több mint öt millió ember él a városban” (More than five million people live in the city). For written numbers in Hungarian, the standard thousand separator is a space, and the decimal separator is a comma.

Notes: While most formal and everyday writing uses the two-word form, the single-word variant may appear in titles or marketing text where a compact style is desired. The term is unambiguous in meaning and serves as a precise numeral in financial, demographic, and statistical contexts.
