Az egyenleg helyes.

In Hungarian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense, third person singular and third person plural when it links a subject to a noun or adjective.

So:

• Az egyenleg helyes. = The balance is correct.
• literally: The balance correct.

But in other persons, the verb appears:

• Én helyes vagyok = I am correct
• Te helyes vagy = You are correct

And in the past or future, van / volt / lesz-type forms are used as needed.

Az is the Hungarian definite article, meaning the.

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a consonant sound
• az before a vowel sound

Because egyenleg begins with e, a vowel, Hungarian uses az:

• az egyenleg = the balance

Compare:

• a könyv = the book
• az asztal = the table

Egyenleg most commonly means balance, especially in a financial or accounting sense.

Typical uses include:

• bankszámlaegyenleg = bank account balance
• záróegyenleg = closing balance

So in this sentence, Az egyenleg helyes most naturally means something like:

• The balance is correct
• The account balance is correct

Depending on context, egyenleg can also refer more generally to a balance between amounts, but finance/accounting is the most likely meaning.

Helyes means correct, right, or proper.

In this sentence, it means that the balance is correct or accurate.

A few related meanings of helyes in other contexts:

• helyes válasz = correct answer
• Ez helyes. = This is correct.
• sometimes it can also mean proper or appropriate

So here, helyes is describing the subject az egyenleg.

Yes. This is the neutral, straightforward word order:

• Az egyenleg = the subject
• helyes = the predicate adjective

So:

• Az egyenleg helyes. = neutral statement: The balance is correct.

Hungarian word order is flexible, but changing it usually changes the focus or emphasis.

For example:

• Helyes az egyenleg.

This can sound more like It is the balance that is correct or The balance is correct indeed, depending on context and intonation.

For a simple textbook sentence, Az egyenleg helyes is the most neutral form.

Hungarian adjectives do not agree for gender, because Hungarian has no grammatical gender.

So there is no equivalent of changing between correct, correcte, correcto, and so on. The adjective stays the same basic form:

• helyes

In this sentence, the subject is singular, so the predicate adjective is singular too:

• Az egyenleg helyes.

If the subject were plural, Hungarian often uses a plural predicate adjective:

• Az egyenlegek helyesek. = The balances are correct.

So in your sentence, helyes is singular because egyenleg is singular.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• Az ≈ uz with a short open o/a-like vowel
• egyenleg ≈ ed-yen-leg
• helyes ≈ heh-yesh

A slightly more careful breakdown:

• egy is pronounced roughly like edgy without the final y sound
• helyes contains ly, but in modern Hungarian ly is pronounced the same as j, like an English y sound

So helyes sounds roughly like:

• heh-yesh

The stress in Hungarian is always on the first syllable of each word:

• AZ
• Egyenleg
• HElyes

Yes, it is natural, but it sounds a bit formal, administrative, or technical because of the words egyenleg and helyes.

You might see it in:

• banking
• accounting
• software messages
• official checks or reports

In everyday speech, depending on context, people might also say things like:

• Az egyenleg rendben van. = The balance is fine / in order.
• Stimmel az egyenleg. = The balance checks out.

So Az egyenleg helyes is perfectly correct, but it has a slightly formal or system-like feel.

Normally, in standard present-tense sentences like this one, van is not used:

• Az egyenleg helyes. ✅
• Az egyenleg helyes van. ❌

However, forms of van do appear in other situations, for example:

1. Past tense

   • Az egyenleg helyes volt. = The balance was correct.

2. Future

   • Az egyenleg helyes lesz. = The balance will be correct.

3. Adverbial expressions or existence-type sentences

   • Az egyenleg rendben van. = The balance is in order.

So with a simple adjective like helyes in the present tense, leaving out is is the normal Hungarian pattern.
