érésének

érésének is a Hungarian word-formation that functions as a possessive phrase built from érés, meaning ripening or maturation. The base érés refers to the process by which something becomes ripe or reaches a mature state, especially in fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and wines, but it can also describe broader maturation or development in other contexts. érésének expresses the idea of “the ripening (or maturation) of something” and is used to link this process to a specific object or subject, as in phrases indicating a time, process, or condition of that ripening.

In usage, érésének is most common in descriptive, scientific, agricultural, and culinary writing. It is typically found in constructions such as a gyümölcs érésének ideje (the ripening time of the fruit), a sajt érésének folyamata (the aging process of the cheese), or a bor érésének hatása (the effect of the wine’s aging). The form allows speakers to attribute the maturation to a particular subject, without repeating the noun, thereby producing concise and precise phrasing.

Etymologically, érésének derives from the noun érés, itself from the verb érni (to ripen, to mature). The possessive-trailed form is a standard way in Hungarian to indicate ownership or association with the process described by érés, aligning with similar constructions for other processes or states (for example, érésének jelentősége, “the significance of its maturation”). Overall, érésének is a routine grammatical tool for detailing the development timeline or aging aspects of a subject in technical or everyday language.
