EtymologyEdit
PronunciationEdit
DeterminerEdit

DeterminerEdit
ezen (demonstrative)
- (formal, archaic, indeclinable and invariable, followed by no article) this, these
- Ezen épület ad otthont az országgyűlésnek. ― This building houses the parliament.
Usage notesEdit
Along with e and eme, ezen is a fairly literary and archaic substitute for ez, but unlike the latter, ezen, e, and eme do not take the case of the noun they are attached to, and no definite article (a or az) is used after them:
- ezen a helyen ― ezen helyen ― e helyen ― eme helyen (“at this place”)
- ebben a házban ― ezen házban ― e házban ― eme házban (“in this house”)
Although the subsequent noun may occasionally be in the singular superessive (-n/-on/-en/-ön), the presence or absence of the definite article unambiguously help in determining the meaning.
For more remote locations, az, azon, and ama are used (in decreasing order of frequency). E has no such counterpart as its place is taken by the definite article a.
