Questions & Answers about A képre kattintunk.

Why is it a and not az?

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a consonant
• az before a vowel

Since képre starts with k, a consonant, the correct form is a.

• a képre
• but az asztalra

What does képre mean exactly? Why isn’t it just kép?

Kép is the basic dictionary form and means picture/image.

In the sentence, it becomes képre because Hungarian adds a case ending:

• kép = picture
• -re = onto / on(to)

So képre literally means something like onto the picture or on the picture.

With the verb kattint (to click), Hungarian normally uses this ending, so képre kattint means click on the picture.

What is the -re ending?
