Questions & Answers about A tudományos terv az e-mailben van.

Why are there two different forms of the: a and az?

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a word that begins with a consonant sound
• az before a word that begins with a vowel sound

So here:

• A tudományos terv = the scientific plan
• az e-mailben = in the email

Because e-mailben starts with a vowel sound, Hungarian uses az.

This is similar to how English uses a and an, but Hungarian does it with the, not with the indefinite article.
