Az öltöny szűk.

Az means the.

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a consonant sound
• az before a vowel sound

Because öltöny begins with the vowel ö, you say az öltöny = the suit.

Compare:

• a kabát = the coat
• az öltöny = the suit

In Hungarian, the verb to be is often left out in the present tense when the subject is third person singular or plural and the sentence is simply saying what something is like or what it is.

So:

• Az öltöny szűk. = The suit is tight.

Literally, it looks like:

• the suit tight

This is completely normal in Hungarian.

But the verb does appear in other situations, for example:

• Én fáradt vagyok. = I am tired.
• Az öltöny a szekrényben van. = The suit is in the wardrobe.

Because szűk is the predicate adjective here. It is describing the suit as the main statement of the sentence.

So:

• Az öltöny szűk. = The suit is tight.

If the adjective comes before the noun, it usually works like English tight suit:

• a szűk öltöny = the tight suit

So the position changes the structure:

• adjective before noun → part of a noun phrase
• adjective after noun → the main description in the sentence

They are not the same kind of expression.

• Az öltöny szűk. = a full sentence = The suit is tight.
• A szűk öltöny = a noun phrase = the tight suit

So the first one tells you something about the suit.

The second one just names or identifies a suit.

A rough guide:

• öltöny ≈ ÖL-töny
• szűk ≈ süük, with rounded lips

A few important letter points:

• ö is like German ö or French eu in some words
• sz is pronounced like English s in see
• ny is a soft sound similar to Spanish ñ
• ű is a long version of ü; English does not have an exact match

Also, Hungarian stress is usually on the first syllable, so:

• ÖL-töny
• SZŰK

Here, szűk means tight.

With clothing, it usually means something is too close-fitting or too small in width.

More generally, szűk can also mean:

• narrow
• tight
• cramped
• limited

But in this sentence, since the subject is a suit, the natural meaning is tight.

Yes, you can.

Both are grammatical, but the emphasis changes.

• Az öltöny szűk. = neutral, straightforward statement
• Szűk az öltöny. = puts more focus on tight

The second version can sound a bit like:

• The suit is tight
• It’s the suit that’s tight
• The problem is that the suit is tight

Hungarian word order is flexible, but it often reflects focus and information structure, not just grammar.

No. Hungarian does not have grammatical gender like many European languages do.

So in this sentence:

• az does not change for masculine or feminine
• öltöny is not grammatically masculine
• szűk does not agree for gender

That means Hungarian does not make distinctions like he/she or masculine/feminine noun forms here.

You would say:

• Az öltönyök szűkek. = The suits are tight.

Changes:

• öltöny → öltönyök = suits
• szűk → szűkek = tight for a plural subject in predicate position

So singular:

• Az öltöny szűk.

Plural:

• Az öltönyök szűkek.

Yes, very much.

In Hungarian, the accents are not optional. They are part of the spelling and they show important differences in pronunciation.

For example:

• ö is a different vowel from o
• ű is a different vowel from ü, and it is also long

So you should learn these as separate letters, not as small spelling decorations.

Writing them incorrectly can change the word or make it look wrong to a native speaker.
