Nominal structure

Postby Gbelle » 2011-02-21, 17:28

Can someone provide the hungarian nominal structure, I'm really struggling to read my aunt's book, like tonight, i came across the word Elhalványszor. and it's not in the dictionary, and google translator commits suicide.

You sure about that? I've never seen that word before. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist but even so.

What exactly do you need re: nominal structure?

Maybe it comes from the verb "elhalványít" (to turn pale) + szőr (a hair (instead of szor)) but still doesn't make any sense.

Yes definitely my Aunt is from Buda, and this book was published in the 60's in Hungary. It seems to have many words that aren't in my modern hungary dictionary. When I say nominal structure, I mean finnish follows this structure

Root+Number(2)+Case(15)+Possesive(6)+Particle(6)

* Brackets indicate how many options.

That's what I thought, but then I think that the sentence doesn't make sense.

Zoltay dühében elhalványszor ugrott fel a székéről.

There's other words in this book that i find hard to figure/understand like...
  • Tisztelendő
  • odacsörömbékelt
  • 'valamennyiőtöket
  • Visszpillantott
  • törökökre

elhalványodni I mixed it up with... valahányszor

It can either mean each time or "X" times.

Hehe, it's better now :)

About the other words I could help with only to of them:
tisztelendő (is a the form for future passive participle (beálló melléknévi igenév) of the verb tisztel (= to honor, to esteem), so tisztelendő means something like "the one who has to be honoured, to be esteemed"
törökökre = török (a Turk) + ök (plural ending) + re (ending for Sublativus case), so törökökre means to the Turks but it depends on the context.

I summarised the Hungarian equivalent in this old post.

Ebben a régi hozzászólásban összefolglaltam a magyar megfelelőjét.

Gothwolf already covered two words. Tisztelendő is most likely used as a noun, in which case it means ‘reverend’. I can’t say for sure that I ever heard odacsörömbékelt, but it must mean something like ‘walked over there in a very noisy way’. Valamennyiőtöket is ‘all of you’ (plural, accusative case). Visszpillant means ‘look back’ both figuratively and physically.
