Questions & Answers about A karikagyűrű drága.

What does karikagyűrű mean exactly?

Karikagyűrű means wedding ring or wedding band.

It is a compound word:

• karika = hoop, circle, band
• gyűrű = ring

So the literal idea is something like band-ring, which developed into the normal word for a wedding ring.

What does A mean at the beginning?

A is the definite article, so it usually means the.

So:

• A karikagyűrű = the wedding ring

Depending on context, it can also be used in a more general sense, like the wedding ring as a type of thing.

Why is it a and not az?

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a consonant
• az before a vowel

Since karikagyűrű starts with k, a consonant, you use a:

• a karikagyűrű
• but az autó

This is similar to how English uses a and an, but in Hungarian this happens with the definite article, not the indefinite one.
