A bizonylat fontos bizonyíték.

A is the definite article, so it means the.

Hungarian has two definite articles:

• a before a consonant
• az before a vowel

Because bizonylat starts with b, the sentence uses a bizonylat.

In Hungarian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense, third person when one noun or adjective is describing another.

So:

• A bizonylat fontos. = The receipt/document is important.
• A bizonylat fontos bizonyíték. = The receipt/document is important evidence.

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

The sentence breaks down like this:

• A bizonylat = the subject/topic
• fontos bizonyíték = the predicate nominal, saying what the subject is

So the structure is basically:

• The receipt/document
  • important evidence

Both nouns are in the basic dictionary form, with no extra ending.

That is a very common learner question.

In Hungarian, when a noun phrase is used after an omitted is to say what something is, the indefinite article egy is often left out.

So:

• A bizonylat fontos bizonyíték. = The receipt is important evidence.
• A bizonylat egy fontos bizonyíték. = The receipt is an important piece of evidence / one important piece of evidence.

The version without egy sounds more like a general statement or classification. The version with egy gives a slightly more countable, individual sense.

Because Hungarian adjectives normally come before the noun they describe.

So:

• fontos bizonyíték = important evidence
• fontos bizonylat = important document/receipt

This is the normal adjective + noun order in Hungarian.

Yes. Hungarian word order is quite flexible, and changing the order often changes the emphasis.

The neutral version is:

• A bizonylat fontos bizonyíték.

But you could also say:

• Fontos bizonyíték a bizonylat.

That version puts more emphasis on fontos bizonyíték. It is a bit like saying The receipt really is important evidence.

So the basic meaning stays similar, but the focus changes.

Bizonylat usually means some kind of supporting official document, especially in financial or administrative contexts.

Depending on context, it can mean things like:

• receipt
• voucher
• supporting document
• record of a transaction

So it is not just any random document. It usually refers to something that serves as formal support or record.

Not exactly.

Hungarian bizonyíték is often used as a countable noun, while English evidence is usually uncountable.

So a natural English translation may be:

• important evidence
• an important piece of evidence

In some contexts, proof may also work, but proof can sound stronger than evidence in English.

Yes, they are related in meaning, and they look similar because they belong to the same general semantic area of supporting/proving something.

But they are not the same word:

• bizonylat = the document or receipt itself
• bizonyíték = the evidence/proof

A bizonylat can function as a bizonyíték.

A few useful pronunciation points:

• Stress is on the first syllable of each word.
• ny sounds like the ny in canyon or the Spanish ñ.
• Hungarian s sounds like English sh, so fontos ends with a sh sound.
• The í and é in bizonyíték are long vowels.

Hungarian spelling is fairly regular, so once you know the sound rules, pronunciation becomes much easier.
