[edit]Etymology
[edit]Pronunciation

[edit]eme
Determiner
[edit]eme
- (archaic, poetic) Alternative form of emez before consonants: this
- Coordinate term: ama
- 1846, Sándor Petőfi, translated by George Szirtes, Egy gondolat bánt engemet[1]:
- És a zászlókon eme szent jelszóval: / „Világszabadság!”
- One undefiled word fluttering overhead, / That word Liberty
(literally) And on the flags with this holy word: / “World freedom!”
- One undefiled word fluttering overhead, / That word Liberty
Usage notes
[edit]A rarer substitute of ez, but unlike the latter, eme does not take the case of the noun it is attached to, and no definite article is used after it:
- ezen a helyen ― eme helyen ― at this place
- ebben a házban ― eme házban ― in this house
Use eme before words beginning with consonants.
Use emez before words beginning with vowels (e.g. emez esetben (“in this case”), emez alkalommal (“on this occasion”)).
