Questions & Answers about A kérelmező ujjnyomatot ad.

Why does the sentence start with A? Does it mean a or the?

In Hungarian, a is the singular definite article, so here it means the.

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

So:

• a kérelmező = the applicant
• az ember = the person

Unlike English, Hungarian uses a/az only for the, not for a/an.

What does kérelmező mean exactly?

Kérelmező means applicant or person making a request/application.

It comes from the verb kérelmez, which means to request formally or to apply for something.

So:

• kérelem = application, request
• kérelmez = to apply/request
• kérelmező = applicant

The ending -ő often creates a noun meaning the person who does something.
