Questions & Answers about A közösség együttműködik.
What does a mean here, and why is it a instead of az?
A is the definite article, so it means the.
Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:
- a before a consonant
- az before a vowel
Since közösség starts with k, a consonant, the correct form is a közösség = the community.
Why doesn’t közösség have any ending? Is this the basic form?
Yes. Közösség is in its basic dictionary form, the nominative singular.
In this sentence, it is the subject, and Hungarian subjects usually appear with no special ending in the nominative:
- a közösség = the community
So this is completely normal: the subject often has zero ending in Hungarian.
