Questions & Answers about Ez egy különleges kezelés.

Why is there no verb in Ez egy különleges kezelés? Shouldn’t it mean This is a special treatment?

Yes, that is exactly what it means.

In Hungarian, the verb van (to be) is usually left out in the present tense, third person when you are linking two nouns or a noun and an adjective.

So:

• Ez egy különleges kezelés. = This is a special treatment.

But in English, you must say is. In Hungarian, you do not.

You would use forms of van in other situations, for example:

• Ez különleges. = This is special.
• Ez itt van. = This is here. / This is present here.

And in past or future tense, the verb appears:

• Ez egy különleges kezelés volt. = This was a special treatment.

So the lack of is here is completely normal.
