Questions & Answers about Az utómunka otthon kezdődik.

What does az mean here, and why is it az instead of a?

Az is the Hungarian definite article, meaning the.

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a consonant
• az before a vowel

Since utómunka begins with the vowel u, the correct form is az utómunka.

This choice is only about sound. It does not change the meaning.

What does utómunka literally mean?

Utómunka is a compound noun:

• utó- = after-, post-
• munka = work

So the literal sense is after-work or follow-up work, but depending on context it often means things like:

• post-production
• finishing work
• follow-up work
• work done afterwards

Hungarian very often forms new words by combining elements into a single compound noun like this.
