In Hungarian, demonstratives (just like other noun modifiers) precede their noun heads. There is an obligatory determinate article between the demonstrative and the noun (1–2) (cf. Balogh 2000b: 448‒449). In the past, the demonstratival construction was grammatical without the article (cf. Horváth 2003: 465‒466), but it is very rare in contemporary Hungarian (3).
