Questions & Answers about A régiség drága.
What does a mean in A régiség drága?
A is the definite article, so here it means the, not a/an.
Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:
- a before a consonant sound
- az before a vowel sound
So:
- a régiség = the antique
- az alma = the apple
In this sentence, régiség begins with a consonant sound, so the correct form is a.
Why is there no word for is in the sentence?
