Questions & Answers about A munkaadó megbízható és felelős munkavállalót keres.

What does a mean here, and why is it a munkaadó instead of az munkaadó?

A is the definite article, so it means the.

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a consonant sound
• az before a vowel sound

Since munkaadó starts with m, you use a munkaadó.

So this part means the employer.

What do munkaadó and munkavállaló literally mean?

Both are compound words, and their literal structure can help you remember them:

• munka = work

• adó = giver
  → munkaadó = work-giver, i.e. employer

• munka = work
• vállaló = one who undertakes/accepts
  → munkavállaló = one who takes on work, i.e. employee

These are standard words, especially in formal or workplace contexts.

Why does munkavállaló become munkavállalót?

The -t ending marks the direct object in Hungarian. This is called the accusative.

So:

• = employee
