Faroese edit
Verb edit
át
Hungarian edit
Etymology edit
First attested in 1519. Of debated origin:[1]
- Continuation of the archaic adverb ált (compare által).
- By clipping of the later term által, itself originally the adverb-suffixed form of ált.
Their parallel usage gradually ceased and át was established in a concrete sense, által, in a figurative sense.
Pronunciation edit
Adverb edit
át (not comparable)
Usage notes edit
This term may also be part of the split form of a verb prefixed with át-, occurring when the main verb does not follow the prefix directly. It can be interpreted only with the related verb form, irrespective of its position in the sentence, e.g. meg tudták volna nézni (“they could have seen it”, from megnéz). For verbs with this prefix, see át-; for an overview, Appendix:Hungarian verbal prefixes.
