báty

== Hungarian == === Etymology === From bátya, see below. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbaːc] Hyphenation: báty Rhymes: -aːc === Noun === báty (plural bátyok) (chiefly with a possessive suffix) older brother, big brother Hypernyms: (sibling) testvér, (brother) fiútestvér, (brother; slightly dated) fivér Coordinate term: nővér ==== Usage notes ==== Similarly to the case of nagybátya (“uncle”, dated), suffixed forms of bátya have been reinterpreted (reanalyzed) as having the stem báty (compare nagybáty, currently standard), so the latter forms (báty and nagybáty) are the usual base forms today. Nevertheless, relationship terms are normally used in Hungarian with possessive suffixes (see the second chart below). ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== bátya === Further reading === bátya in Géza Bárczi, László Országh, et al., editors, A magyar nyelv értelmező szótára [The Explanatory Dictionary of the Hungarian Language] (ÉrtSz.), Budapest: Akadémiai Kiadó, 1959–1962.
