Ajtaját

The term "ajtaját" refers to a specific Hungarian grammatical construction. It is a possessive suffix that indicates the third-person singular possessor. In Hungarian, possession is often expressed by adding suffixes to the possessed noun, which vary depending on the number and person of the possessor. "Ajtaját" is formed from the noun "ajtó" (door) and the possessive suffix "-ját". The "-ja" part signifies third-person singular possession, and the "-t" is the accusative case marker, indicating that the door is the direct object of a verb.

For example, in the sentence "Láttam az autóját" (I saw his/her car), "autóját" is formed from "autó" (car) and the suffix "-ját". Similarly, "Láttam az ajtaját" would translate to "I saw his/her door" or "I saw its door," depending on the context. This suffix attaches to nouns that have a vowel at the end or are monosyllabic. The construction is fundamental to expressing possession in Hungarian and understanding its nuances is crucial for mastering the language. The system of possessive suffixes is complex, with different forms for singular and plural possessors, and for nouns ending in vowels or consonants. "Ajtaját" is just one example within this rich system.
