Nem elég, hogy bő a ruha, az öltöny még szűk is.

Nem elég, hogy ... is a fixed Hungarian pattern meaning something like:

• It’s bad enough that ...
• It’s not enough that ...
• As if it weren’t enough that ...

It introduces a complaint or adds emotional emphasis. The speaker is saying one negative thing is already true, and then there is an additional problem.

So in this sentence, the structure is:

• Nem elég, hogy bő a ruha, ...
• It’s bad enough that the garment is loose, ...

and then the second part adds another annoyance.

In Hungarian, in the present tense, 3rd person singular, the verb to be (van) is usually left out in simple equational or descriptive sentences.

So:

• A ruha bő. = The garment is loose.
• literally not A ruha van bő

Likewise:

• Az öltöny szűk. = The suit is tight.

This is completely normal Hungarian grammar. English requires is, but Hungarian usually does not here.

Both are possible, but the word order changes the emphasis.

• A ruha bő. = neutral: The garment is loose.
• Bő a ruha. = puts more focus on bő (loose / too loose / baggy)

In this sentence, bő a ruha sounds a bit more expressive and fits the complaint structure well.

Hungarian word order is often guided by focus and information structure, not only by subject-verb-object order as in English.

Bő in clothing contexts means:

• loose
• roomy
• baggy
• sometimes too big

It describes something that has too much space in it.

Examples:

• bő nadrág = loose trousers
• bő ing = a loose shirt

In this sentence, bő a ruha means the clothing item is too loose or too roomy.

Szűk means:

• tight
• narrow
• too small / too tight in clothing contexts

So the two adjectives are opposites here:

• bő = too loose / too roomy
• szűk = too tight

That contrast is important to the sentence: one item is too loose, and another is too tight.

They are related, but they are not the same word.

• ruha can mean clothing, garment, or sometimes dress, depending on context
• öltöny specifically means suit

So here:

• a ruha = the garment / the clothes item
• az öltöny = the suit

The sentence contrasts two different items of clothing.

A learner should be careful because ruha does not always mean specifically dress in the English sense.

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a
• az

The choice depends on the following sound:

• a before a consonant
• az before a vowel

Since öltöny begins with ö, a vowel, the correct form is:

• az öltöny

Compare:

• a ruha
• az ing
• az autó

This is a very common emphatic pattern.

Here még ... is adds the sense of:

• even
• on top of that
• to make matters worse

So:

• az öltöny még szűk is

means something like:

• the suit is even tight
• the suit is tight too, on top of that
• to make matters worse, the suit is tight as well

The is here often has the sense of too / also, but together with még it becomes more emphatic.

In Hungarian, is is a clitic-like particle meaning also / too / even depending on context, and it often follows the word or phrase it relates to.

In:

• szűk is

the is attaches to the adjective phrase and adds emphasis: tight too / even tight

Hungarian often places these little particles after the focused element or at the end of a short predicate phrase.

Compare:

• Én is. = Me too.
• Szép is. = It’s pretty too / It’s even pretty.
• Drága is. = It’s expensive too / and expensive at that.

Yes, that would also be grammatical.

Compare:

• Nem elég, hogy bő a ruha, ...
• Nem elég, hogy a ruha bő, ...

The difference is mainly one of emphasis and style.

• bő a ruha emphasizes bő
• a ruha bő is more neutral

Both work, but the original version sounds natural and expressive.

The comma separates the two main parts:

1. Nem elég, hogy bő a ruha
2. az öltöny még szűk is

The first part sets up the complaint, and the second adds the extra problem. In English, you would also normally separate these parts:

• It’s bad enough that the garment is loose, the suit is even tight.

So the comma helps mark the rhetorical structure.

Both.

It expresses frustration because Nem elég, hogy ... is a complaining structure.

It also expresses contrast because the clothing problems are opposite:

• one item is bő = loose
• the other is szűk = tight

That makes the sentence sound especially exasperated: not only is one thing wrong, but the other problem is the exact opposite.

Without more context, it is safer to understand ruha here more generally as garment or clothing item.

Although ruha can mean dress in some contexts, it also has a broader meaning. Since the sentence also mentions az öltöny (the suit), the broader sense is probably more appropriate unless the larger context clearly says otherwise.

So for learning purposes, it is useful to remember:

• ruha = clothing / garment / dress depending on context
• öltöny = suit

The basic neutral statements would be:

• A ruha bő. = The garment is loose.
• Az öltöny szűk. = The suit is tight.

The full sentence then adds:

• the complaint frame: Nem elég, hogy ...
• the extra emphasis: még ... is

So the original is more expressive than just two plain descriptive sentences.
