A találkozó rendszeres.

In Hungarian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense when the subject is third person singular or plural.

So:

• A találkozó rendszeres. = The meeting is regular.
• literally: The meeting regular.

But in other persons, Hungarian does use the verb:

• Én rendszeres vagyok. = I am regular.
• Te rendszeres vagy. = You are regular.

And in the past or future, van/lenni returns:

• A találkozó rendszeres volt. = The meeting was regular.

A is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• a találkozó = the meeting

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before consonant sounds
• az before vowel sounds

For example:

• a találkozó = the meeting
• az asztal = the table

Találkozó means meeting.

It comes from the verb találkozik, which means to meet.
As a noun, találkozó refers to an event or occasion where people meet.

Examples:

• baráti találkozó = friendly gathering / meeting of friends
• üzleti találkozó = business meeting

In this sentence, a találkozó is the subject.

Rendszeres usually means:

• regular
• recurring
• consistent
• sometimes systematic, depending on context

In A találkozó rendszeres, it means the meeting happens regularly or is held on a regular basis.

So the sentence suggests something like:

• the meeting is regular
• the meeting is held regularly
• it is a recurring meeting

Hungarian adjectives usually do not agree with the noun in number or gender the way they do in many Indo-European languages.

So rendszeres stays the same:

• a találkozó rendszeres = the meeting is regular
• a találkozók rendszeresek = the meetings are regular

Notice that in the plural predicate, Hungarian often makes the adjective plural too:

• singular: rendszeres
• plural: rendszeresek

But there is still no gender agreement, because Hungarian has no grammatical gender like masculine/feminine/neuter.

This is the most neutral, straightforward word order:

• A találkozó = the topic/subject
• rendszeres = what is being said about it

So it means: As for the meeting, it is regular.

Hungarian word order is often influenced by focus and emphasis, not just fixed subject-verb-object rules.

In a simple descriptive sentence like this, subject + predicate adjective is the normal pattern.

If you changed the order to Rendszeres a találkozó, that could sound more contrastive or emphatic, something like:

• The meeting is regular (as opposed to irregular)
• It’s the meeting that is regular

So the original sentence is the neutral version.

Yes, it is grammatical and understandable, but in real-life usage Hungarians might sometimes say something a little more specific, depending on what they mean.

For example:

• A találkozó rendszeresen van. is not the best natural phrasing.
• More natural alternatives might be:
  • A találkozó rendszeresen ismétlődik. = The meeting repeats regularly.
  • Rendszeres találkozó. = It is a regular meeting.
  • A találkozót rendszeresen tartják. = The meeting is held regularly.

Still, A találkozó rendszeres is perfectly fine as a simple teaching sentence showing the structure.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• A = short aw
• találkozó ≈ taw-LAAL-ko-zoh
• rendszeres ≈ REN-se-re-sh

A few helpful points:

• Hungarian stress is always on the first syllable of each word.
  • TAlálkozó
  • RENdszeres
• sz is pronounced like English s
• s is pronounced like English sh
• ó is a long o
• á is a long open a

So rendszeres is not pronounced with an English z sound in sz; the sz is just s.

Yes.

• A találkozó rendszeres. = The meeting is regular.
• A találkozók rendszeresek. = The meetings are regular.

Here:

• találkozó → találkozók = meeting → meetings
• rendszeres → rendszeresek = regular → regular in plural predicate form

This is a good example of how predicate adjectives can take plural marking when the subject is plural.

Yes.

There is an important difference between:

• A találkozó rendszeres. = The meeting is regular.
• rendszeres találkozó = a regular meeting

In rendszeres találkozó, the adjective directly modifies the noun, like ordinary English regular meeting.

In A találkozó rendszeres, rendszeres is the predicate: it tells you something about the meeting.

So:

• Ez egy rendszeres találkozó. = This is a regular meeting.
• A találkozó rendszeres. = The meeting is regular.

No. Hungarian does not have grammatical gender.

That means there is no difference like:

• masculine
• feminine
• neuter

So találkozó is not grammatically he, she, or it, and rendszeres does not change for gender either.

This makes sentences like this simpler in some ways, because you do not have to memorize gender-based adjective forms.
