A figyelmeztetés még érvényes.

In Hungarian, a / az is the definite article, so it corresponds to English the.

So:

• a figyelmeztetés = the warning

Hungarian does not have a separate word that directly matches English a/an in ordinary use. The word egy can mean a/an, but it is also the number one, and it is used only when that idea is important or natural in context.

Here, a figyelmeztetés means the warning because we are talking about a specific warning already known in the situation.

Hungarian often omits the verb “to be” in the third person singular and plural in the present tense.

So in English you say:

• The warning is still valid.

But in Hungarian, in the present tense, you can simply say:

• A figyelmeztetés még érvényes.

This is completely normal.

Compare:

• A figyelmeztetés érvényes. = The warning is valid.
• A figyelmeztetés még érvényes. = The warning is still valid.

But in past or future tense, or in first/second person, forms of lenni (to be) do appear.

Here, még means still.

So:

• még érvényes = still valid

This word often expresses that a state continues up to now.

Examples:

• Még itt van. = He/She is still here.
• Még dolgozom. = I’m still working.

Be careful: még can also have other uses depending on context, such as yet, even, or more, but in this sentence still is the natural meaning.

Because még modifies the adjective érvényes and highlights the continued state: still valid.

Hungarian word order is flexible, but it is not random. In a neutral sentence, még commonly comes right before the word or phrase it closely modifies.

So:

• A figyelmeztetés még érvényes.
  = The warning is still valid.

This is the most natural neutral order.

If you move words around, the emphasis can change.

Érvényes means valid, in force, or effective, depending on context.

It is often used for things like:

• tickets
• documents
• laws
• permits
• warnings
• offers

Examples:

• A jegy érvényes. = The ticket is valid.
• Az útlevél érvényes. = The passport is valid.

In your sentence, érvényes means that the warning is still in effect or still valid.

No. Hungarian adjectives used in this kind of predicate position do not agree in gender, and Hungarian has no grammatical gender like English he/she/it distinctions for nouns.

So érvényes stays the same:

• A figyelmeztetés érvényes.
• A szabály érvényes.
• A jegyek érvényesek. only in the plural predicate context

A useful point here: in Hungarian, predicate adjectives can take a plural ending when the subject is plural.

Compare:

• A figyelmeztetés érvényes. = The warning is valid.
• A figyelmeztetések érvényesek. = The warnings are valid.

So in your sentence, singular subject → érvényes.

Figyelmeztetés is a noun meaning warning.

It is related to the verb:

• figyelmeztet = to warn

And the noun-forming ending -és / -ás often creates an action or result noun.

So roughly:

• figyelmeztet = warn
• figyelmeztetés = warning

This is a very common pattern in Hungarian, and noticing these endings can help you build vocabulary.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• fee-dyel-mez-teh-TAYSH

A few important points:

• gy is a special Hungarian sound, somewhat like a soft dy
• sz is pronounced like English s
• s by itself is pronounced like English sh
• é is a long vowel, roughly like ay in say, but cleaner and more pure
• Hungarian stress is always on the first syllable

So the stress is:

• FI-gyel-mez-te-tés

You do not need a perfect accent immediately, but knowing that first-syllable stress is very helpful.

It is possible, but it sounds different in emphasis and is less neutral.

The standard, natural version is:

• A figyelmeztetés még érvényes.

Placing még before érvényes neatly gives the meaning still valid.

If you say:

• A figyelmeztetés érvényes még.

it may sound more marked, conversational, or contrastive, as if you are emphasizing yes, it is valid still.

For learners, it is best to use:

• A figyelmeztetés még érvényes.

A very common opposite is:

• A figyelmeztetés már nem érvényes.

Here:

• már = already / now
• nem = not

Together, már nem often means no longer.

So:

• még érvényes = still valid
• már nem érvényes = no longer valid

This is a very useful pair to learn.

It is basically neutral and perfectly natural. It can be used in everyday speech, official language, notices, or administrative contexts.

Because the words figyelmeztetés and érvényes are a bit formal in meaning, the sentence may sound slightly official depending on context, but grammatically it is just normal standard Hungarian.

You could easily see it in:

• a workplace context
• a legal or administrative setting
• a safety notice
• a system message or warning status
