Definite: definiteness or state
Definiteness is relevant for determiners and verbs in Hungarian. Besides the values Def and Indef, we apply the value 2 for marking second person objects, which trigger special inflectional suffixes on the verb:
Szeret egy fiút. love-PRES-3SG-INDEF a boy-ACC “She loves a boy.”
Szereti a fiút. love-PRES-3SG-DEF the boy-ACC “She loves the boy.”
Szeretlek. love-PRES-1SG-2SGOBJ “I love you.”
Treebank Statistics (UD_Hungarian)
This feature is universal but the values 2 are language-specific.
It occurs with 3 different values: 2, Def, Ind.
6540 tokens (21%) have a non-empty value of Definite.
1654 types (16%) occur at least once with a non-empty value of Definite.
943 lemmas (13%) occur at least once with a non-empty value of Definite.
The feature is used with 3 part-of-speech tags: hu-pos/DET (3919; 12% instances), hu-pos/VERB (2470; 8% instances), hu-pos/AUX (151; 0% instances).
DET
3919 hu-pos/DET tokens (97% of all DET tokens) have a non-empty value of Definite.
The most frequent other feature values with which DET and Definite co-occurred: PronType=Art (3733; 95%).
DET tokens may have the following values of Definite:
Def(3674; 94% of non-emptyDefinite): a, az, egyik, mindkét, saját, milyen, mindhárom, semmiféleInd(245; 6% of non-emptyDefinite): egy, több, minden, sok, néhány, más, többek, másik, kevesebb, semmiEMPTY(101): ez, ezt, azt, ebben, ezen, ilyen, e, olyan, Ennek, arra
| Paradigm milyen | Ind | Def |
|---|---|---|
| milyen | milyen |
Definite seems to be lexical feature of DET. 97% lemmas (28) occur only with one value of Definite.
