Questions & Answers about A hangosítás itt túl hangos.
What does hangosítás mean here? Is it the equipment, the process, or the sound itself?
In this sentence, hangosítás most naturally means the sound system / the amplification / the PA setup.
It comes from hangosít, meaning to amplify or to make louder, so hangosítás is literally amplification. In real usage, though, it often refers to the whole sound setup, not just the abstract process.
So depending on context, A hangosítás itt túl hangos could mean something like:
- The sound system here is too loud.
- The amplification here is too loud.
- The PA here is too loud.
Why are hangosítás and hangos so similar?
Because they are built from the same root.
- hang = sound
- hangos = loud or literally soundy / noisy
- hangosít = to make loud
- hangosítás = making loud, amplification, or sound system
So the sentence has a kind of built-in repetition:
- A hangosítás = the amplification / sound system
- túl hangos = too loud
That is completely normal in Hungarian, even if it feels a bit repetitive in English.
