Questions & Answers about Szerintem ez a cím hibás.
What does szerintem mean, and how is it built?
Szerintem means in my opinion, I think, or more literally according to me.
It comes from:
- szerint = according to
- -em = my / to me-type personal ending
So:
- szerintem = according to me
- szerinted = according to you
- szerinte = according to him/her
In everyday Hungarian, szerintem is a very common way to say I think.
Why is it ez a cím and not just ez cím?
In Hungarian, when a demonstrative like ez (this) or az (that) comes before a noun, the definite article is normally also used.
So Hungarian says:
- ez a cím = this title / this address
- az a ház = that house
This is different from English, where we say just this title, not this the title.
So ez a cím is the normal correct structure.
Why is there an a after ez?
