Questions & Answers about A videóhívás hamarosan kezdődik.
Why does the sentence start with A?
A is the Hungarian definite article, meaning the.
Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:
- a before consonant sounds
- az before vowel sounds
Since videóhívás starts with v, the correct form is a:
- a videóhívás = the video call
What does videóhívás consist of?
Videóhívás is a compound noun:
- videó = video
- hívás = call, calling
So videóhívás literally means video call.
Hungarian very often forms compounds by writing the parts together as one word.
Why is it hívás and not a separate word for call?
Hívás is a noun made from the verb hív, which means to call.
So:
- hív = to call
- hívás = a call / calling
This is very common in Hungarian: a verb can become a noun with endings like -ás or -és.
