Etymology edit

The pronoun and determiner senses probably derive from an earlier a[1] + a pronoun-forming suffix -z,[2] where the former element originates from Proto-Uralic *o or *u (that, that other).[3] Its cognates include Moksha омба (omba, other), омбоце (omboće, second), Eastern Mari умбал (umbal, far, distant),[4][5] Udmurt отын (otyn, there)[6][7] and Komi-Zyrian ата (ata, here), асы (asy, look here).[3]

The definite article was created by means of conversion,[1][2] originally only in the form az, later shortened to a’ before consonants until the early 20th century, when the spelling a was accepted.

    Coordinate terms: ez, emez, amaz
    Az a ház nagyon szép.That house is very beautiful.

    Azokban a házakban venezuelaiak laknak.In those houses, Venezuelan people are living.
  2. (rare, archaic, except in vowel-initial fixed phrases, with zero article) that
    Synonym: (before words starting with a consonant; rare in this function) a
    Coordinate terms: e, ez, eme, emez, ama, amaz, ezen, azon
    az ügyben (equivalent to abban az ügyben, but with an emphatic az)in that matter
    az évben (equivalent to abban az évben, but with an emphatic az)in that year
    az az évi díjak (with an emphatic second az)the fees of that year

Usage notes edit

Because az (in the first, common usage) takes a definite article (the) and van (“is, to be”) is omitted in "who"/"what" statements, some terms are ambiguous. “Az a ház” can mean both “that house” as a phrase and “That is the house” as a whole sentence. The same ambiguity may arise with ez.
