Its accusative is exceptionally the regular tért in the expression tért hódít (to gain ground) and often in tért veszít/veszt (to lose ground). This accusative form may optionally occur in some other figurative expressions, though the irregular teret is more common with the verbs nyer, hagy, and elfoglal (nagy teret foglal el). The expression teret enged is only possible with the irregular form,[3] just like teret nyit.
