Definite: definiteness or state
Definiteness is relevant for determiners and verbs in Hungarian. Besides the values Def and Indef, we apply the value 2 for marking second person objects, which trigger special inflectional suffixes on the verb:
Szeret egy fiút. love-PRES-3SG-INDEF a boy-ACC “She loves a boy.”
Szereti a fiút. love-PRES-3SG-DEF the boy-ACC “She loves the boy.”
Szeretlek. love-PRES-1SG-2SGOBJ “I love you.”
Treebank Statistics (UD_Hungarian)
This feature is universal but the values 2 are language-specific.
It occurs with 3 different values: 2, Def, Ind.
8683 tokens (21%) have a non-empty value of Definite.
2078 types (15%) occur at least once with a non-empty value of Definite.
1148 lemmas (13%) occur at least once with a non-empty value of Definite.
The feature is used with 3 part-of-speech tags: hu-pos/DET (5160; 12% instances), hu-pos/VERB (3485; 8% instances), hu-pos/AUX (38; 0% instances).
DET
5160 hu-pos/DET tokens (98% of all DET tokens) have a non-empty value of Definite.
The most frequent other feature values with which DET and Definite co-occurred: PronType=Art (4936; 96%).
DET tokens may have the following values of Definite:
Def(4870; 94% of non-emptyDefinite): a, az, egyik, saját, mindkét, milyen, mindhárom, semmiféle, valamennyiInd(290; 6% of non-emptyDefinite): egy, több, minden, néhány, sok, más, másik, többek, semmi, kevesebbEMPTY(115): ez, ezt, azt, ezen, ebben, ilyen, e, arra, az, azokat

Definite seems to be lexical feature of DET. 93% lemmas (28) occur only with one value of Definite.
