$^1$ Semhogy and semmint are conjunctions meaning “(rather) than”, “before” (as in inkább meghal, semhogy… ― he'll rather die than…). $^2$ Valamint is now only used in the sense of “as well as” in enumerations. $^3$ Mindeddig/-addig mean “up until this/that point” (= egészen eddig/addig). Csak following relative pronouns expresses “-ever”, e.g. aki csak (“whoever”); is after “any” pronouns emphasizes “no matter”: akármit is (“no matter what”).

### Determiner

ez (demonstrative)
* (used before a noun phrase with a definite article, gets the case of the noun phrase) this
    Ez a ház nagyon szép. ― This house is very beautiful.
    Ezzel a lemezzel nem tudok mit kezdeni. ― I cannot do anything with this disk.
* (archaic, otherwise only in certain fixed phrases beginning with a vowel, as a counterpart of e, followed by no article) this
    ez ügyben (equivalent to ebben az ügyben) ― in this matter
    ez esetben (equivalent to ebben az esetben) ― in this case
    ez évben (equivalent to ebben az évben) ― in this year
    az ez évi díjak ― [“the”] this year's fees
    ez alkalommal ― on this occasion
    ez idő szerint ― at this time, at present, presently
    ez idő tájt ― about this time, in these days
    ez idáig ― until this time, until now, as yet

#### Usage notes

* In the first case (which is by far more common), it is declined according to the noun phrase it is applied to:
    Ezekben a házakban magyarok laknak. ― In these houses, Hungarian people live.
* Because ez takes a definite article (the) and van (“is, to be”) is omitted in cases of qualification, some terms are ambiguous:
    “Ez a ház” can mean both “this house” as a phrase and “This is the house” as a whole sentence. The same ambiguity may arise with az.
