Etymology

ez (“this”) +‎ -en (“on”)

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key):
  • Audio:(file)
  • Hyphenation: ezen
  • Rhymes: -ɛn

Determiner

ezen (demonstrative)

  1. (agreeing in number and case with the head of the phrase, followed by a definite article) superessive singular of ez
    Synonyms: (standard) ez, e, (the latter two are literary) eme
    Coordinate terms: (standard) az, azon, (the latter two are literary) ama
    ezen az asztalon ― on this table
    Ezen a honlapon olvastam, hogy… ― I've read on this website that…

Determiner

ezen (demonstrative)

  1. (formal, archaic, indeclinable and invariable, followed by no article) this, these
    Ezen épület ad otthont az országgyűlésnek. ― This building houses the parliament.

Usage notes

Along with e and eme, ezen is a fairly literary and archaic substitute for ez, but unlike the latter, ezen, e, and eme do not take the case of the noun they are attached to, and no definite article (a or az) is used after them:

ezen a helyen ― ezen helyen ― e helyen ― eme helyen (“at this place”)
ebben a házban ― ezen házban ― e házban ― eme házban (“in this house”)

Although the subsequent noun may occasionally be in the singular superessive (-n/-on/-en/-ön), the presence or absence of the definite article unambiguously help in determining the meaning.

For more remote locations, az, azon, and ama are used (in decreasing order of frequency). E has no such counterpart as its place is taken by the definite article a.
