editPronunciation
editEtymology 1
editFirst attested in the early 13th century. Lexicalization of mind (“all”) + -en (suffix to form adverbs of manner or pronouns).[1]
Determiner
editminden
- every (used with the noun in singular)
- Synonyms: mindegyik, minden egyes
Usage notes
editIt is currently used with the singular (like the term every in English). However, it occasionally occurs with the plural form in a handful of archaic structures: mindenekelőtt (“first of all”, literally “before everything”), minden oroszok cárja (“the Tsar of all the Russias”, literally “…of all Russians”), where the current standard form would have orosz, and minden világok legjobbika (“best of all worlds”), where the present-day standard form would have világ. See also the Usage notes at összes (“all”).
