Aláírását

Aláírását is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from aláírás, meaning "signature." In Hungarian grammar it represents the definite direct object form of the noun, used when the signer or the signature in question is treated as a known, definite item. The form is commonly found after verbs that take a definite object, and it often appears with a possessive or demonstrative context, for example az aláírását or az Ön aláírását.

In ordinary usage, aláírás refers to the act of signing or the written mark that identifies a person’s consent or authorization on a document. The phrase aláírását can denote either the signature itself or the act of signing, depending on the sentence. Common examples include Kérem az aláírását (“I request your signature”) and Megkérték az aláírását (“They asked for his/her signature”).

With the rise of digital documentation, electronic signatures are also common in Hungarian practice. In the European Union, electronic signatures can be legally recognized, with categories such as basic electronic signatures, advanced electronic signatures, and the qualified electronic signature (minősített elektronikus aláírás) that has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under applicable laws and regulations.

Etymology-wise, aláírás is formed from alá- (“under”) and írás (“writing”), literally conveying the idea of writing underneath or under one’s name. The suffixes in aláírását mark its role as a definite direct object in a sentence.
