Questions & Answers about Az internetkapcsolat gyors.

Why is it az and not a?

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a
• az

The choice depends on the sound that follows.

• Use a before a word beginning with a consonant sound
• Use az before a word beginning with a vowel sound

Since internetkapcsolat begins with i, Hungarian uses az:

• az internetkapcsolat

This is similar to the difference between a and an in English, although Hungarian uses this rule only for the definite article.

What does internetkapcsolat consist of?

Internetkapcsolat is a compound noun:

• internet = internet
• kapcsolat = connection, contact, link

So internetkapcsolat literally means internet connection.

Hungarian very often forms new nouns by combining words into one single long word. This is completely normal and very common.

Why is gyors after the noun instead of before it?
