Hungarian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From emel (“to lift, to raise”) + -et (noun-forming suffix, expressing the result of the action).
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]emelet (plural emeletek)
Usage notes
[edit]In keeping with the word's derivation ("something lifted [above the ground level]"), usage is like the British convention as opposed to the American. That is, első emelet (“first floor”) is not the ground floor but the first one above ground. The American-usage first floor (UK: ground floor) is földszint (literally “ground level”).
