First the final -l wore off and the adverb estve (“in the evening”) was used for a long time (still in use today in dialects), later the -v was dropped. The noun sense became independent from the compound word napeste (“sunset”, literally “the fall of the sun”). The noun est is from the es- stem of the verb esik (“to fall”) +‎ -t (noun-forming suffix). The es- stem is from Proto-Uralic *ećɜ- (“to fall”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈɛʃtɛ] Hyphenation: es‧te Rhymes: -tɛ === Adverb === este (not comparable) in the evening (from approximately 6 p.m. until going to bed; depends on working hours, daylight length, etc.) ==== Usage notes ==== === Noun === este (plural esték) evening Synonym: (currently used in a narrower sense) est ==== Declension ==== For the terminative, estig is the most common form. ==== Derived terms ==== === Noun === este the fall (of someone or something) Synonyms: esése, dőlése (poetic) the downfall (of someone or something) ==== Declension ==== It most commonly occurs today in the form estében (“as he/she/it falls/fell”). === References === === Further reading === (evening): este 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.
