Questions & Answers about A terhelés új.

Why is there no word for is in A terhelés új?

In Hungarian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense when the sentence is in the third person.

So:

• A terhelés új. = The load is new.
• literally: The load new.

This is completely normal in Hungarian.

But in other persons, Hungarian does use the verb:

• Új vagyok. = I am new.
• Új vagy. = You are new.
• Új. = He/she/it is new.

So the missing is is not a mistake; it is standard grammar.

What does A mean here?

A is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• a = the
• az = also the

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before words beginning with most consonants
• az before words beginning with a vowel

Since terhelés begins with t, Hungarian uses a:

• a terhelés = the load

Why is it a terhelés and not az terhelés?
