editHungarian
editEtymology
editFirst attested in c. 1372. Of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Proto-Finno-Ugric *pëčɜ- (“color; to color, paint”)[1][2] + -t (causative suffix).[3]
Pronunciation
editVerb
editfest
- (transitive) to paint (something a colour: -ra/-re)
- Coordinate term: mázol
- Pirosra festettem az autómat. ― I painted my car red.
- (transitive) to dye
- (intransitive) to look in some way
- 1989, John Updike (author), translated by Árpád Göncz, Így látja Roger [Roger's Version], Budapest: Európa Könyvkiadó, →ISBN, page 203:
- Dale nem festett valami jól; viaszos sápadtsága szinte beteges volt. S mintha izzadt volna; ingzubbonya fölé kockás sportzakót vett, s e kettő nagyon nem illett össze.
- Dale didn't look well for this interview; his waxy pallor had slid over into the sickly. He seemed to be sweating, and he had put on a checkered sports jacket over his lumberjack shirt, with discordant effect.
Usage notes
editThe stative types of the sense verbs feel, smell, and taste are uncommon in Hungarian (i.e., those expressing some sensory information conveyed, in contrast to the voluntary actions of using these senses or the involuntary perception). Instead, adjectival (-ú/-ű/-jú/-jű) and possessive (…-a/-e/-ja/-je van) constructions are used, and these are also applicable for sound. (The first two rows are for action verbs and perception verbs that behave similarly to English.)
see / look | hear / sound | smell | taste | feel / touch | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Action verb | (meg)néz | (meg)hallgat | (meg)szagol | (meg)kóstol, (literary) (meg)ízlel |
megfog, (meg)tapint, (meg)tapogat | |
Perception verb | lát | hall | érez | |||
Sta- tive |
verb | látszik, tűnik, kinéz, fest |
hangzik hallatszik |
(érződik or archaic érzik) affecting one: esik (jólesik / rosszulesik) | ||
adjective | … kinézetű / külsejű (someone’s appearance) |
… hangú, … hangzású |
… szagú (bad/neutral) … illatú (pleasant) |
… ízű | … tapintású | |
possessive | … kinézete / külseje van … a kinézete / külseje |
… hangja van … a hangja |
… szaga / illata van …a szaga / …az illata |
… íze van … az íze |
… tapintása van … a tapintása |
- Ez a torta citromízű. = Ennek a tortának citromíze van. ― This cake tastes of lemon.
- Ez az autó benzinszagú. = Ennek az autónak benzinszaga van. ― This car smells of petrol.
- Ez az étel finom illatú. = Ennek az ételnek finom illata van. = Ennek az ételnek finom az illata. ― This dish smells delicious.
- Ez a szövet selymes tapintású. = Ennek a szövetnek selymes tapintása van = …selymes a tapintása. ― This fabric feels silky.
On the other hand, certain verbs can express particular sensory impressions, e.g. illatozik (“to smell sweet, to be fragrant”) and bűzlik (“to stink, to reek”).
