Questions & Answers about Ez a kerék nagyon nagy.

Why does Hungarian use ez a for this instead of just ez?

In Hungarian, when this directly modifies a noun, you normally use a demonstrative + article pattern:

• ez a kerék = this wheel
• az a ház = that house

So ez points to something nearby, and a is the definite article. Together they function like English this before a noun.

By itself, ez usually means this one or this thing.

• Ez nagy. = This is big.
• Ez a kerék nagy. = This wheel is big.

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?
