Questions & Answers about A lista szerint holnapra sok mindenre szükségem van.

Why is it A lista and not just lista?

A is the definite article, equivalent to the in English.
So A lista means the list.

Hungarian often uses the definite article when referring to a specific, known thing, just like English does. In this sentence, it is not just any list, but a particular list that the speaker has in mind.

What does szerint mean here?

Szerint is a postposition meaning things like:

• according to
• based on
• in the opinion of (in other contexts)

So A lista szerint means according to the list.

It works like this:

• a tanár szerint = according to the teacher
• a terv szerint = according to the plan
• a lista szerint = according to the list

Notice that Hungarian uses a postposition, so it comes after the noun phrase, not before it as in English.
