Expressions
DeterminerEdit
ez (demonstrative)
- (used before a noun phrase with a definite article, gets the case of the noun phrase) this
- Ez a ház nagyon szép. ― This house is very beautiful.
- Ezzel a lemezzel nem tudok mit kezdeni. ― I cannot do anything with this disk.
- (archaic, otherwise only in certain fixed phrases beginning with a vowel, as a counterpart of e, followed by no article) this
- ez ügyben (equivalent to ebben az ügyben) ― in this matter
- ez esetben (equivalent to ebben az esetben) ― in this case
- ez évben (equivalent to ebben az évben) ― in this year
- az ez évi díjak ― [“the”] this year's fees
- ez alkalommal ― on this occasion
- ez idő szerint ― at this time, at present, presently
- ez idő tájt ― about this time, in these days
- ez idáig ― until this time, until now, as of yet
Usage notesEdit
- In the first case (which is by far more common), it is declined according to the noun phrase it is applied to:
- Ezekben a házakban magyarok laknak. ― In these houses, Hungarian people live.
- Because ez takes a definite article (the) and van (“is, to be”) is omitted in cases of qualification, some terms are ambiguous:
- “Ez a ház” can mean both “this house” as a phrase and “This is the house” as a whole sentence. The same ambiguity may arise with az.
