Questions & Answers about A kérelmező vár.

What does a mean here?

A is the Hungarian definite article, so here it works like English the.

A useful detail:

• a is used before most consonant sounds
• az is used before vowel sounds

So:

• a kérelmező
• but az ember

What kind of word is kérelmező?

Kérelmező is a noun meaning applicant.

It is built from the verb kérelmez (to apply, to request formally) plus -ő, a common ending that can form a person who does the action.

So very roughly:

• kérelmez = to apply / request
• kérelmező = applicant, requester

This -ó / -ő ending is common in Hungarian:

• tanul = study
• tanuló = student / learner

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?
