Questions & Answers about Szeretem a jó gyümölcsöt.

Why do we use a before jó gyümölcsöt?
Hungarian uses the definite article a (or az before vowels) similarly to how English uses the. Because jó gyümölcs is considered specific or already introduced in context, we use a to mark it as a definite, particular thing.
Why is gyümölcs changed to gyümölcsöt?
Hungarian uses the accusative case to mark the direct object of the sentence. The noun gyümölcs gets -öt at the end, forming gyümölcsöt, to show it’s the object of szeretem (I like/love).
How does the adjective work here?
Adjectives in Hungarian normally precede the noun they modify (just like in English). So (meaning good) goes in front of gyümölcsöt to specify that it’s good fruit, instead of average or poor-quality fruit.
What’s the difference between szeretem and szeret?
Szeret is the infinitive/base form meaning to like/love. Szeretem is the first-person singular definite form (I like/love it or I love the). You use -em to indicate that I am doing the liking or loving and the object is definite.
