Antennájuk

Antennájuk is a Hungarian word formed by the noun antenná (antenna) plus the third-person plural possessive suffix -juk. It translates roughly as “their antenna” and is used when the possessor is a group. The form is a regular example of Hungarian noun morphology, where possessive suffixes attach directly to the noun to indicate ownership.

Morphology and usage: In Hungarian, possessive suffixes agree with the possessor in person and number, and attach to the noun stem. The suffix -juk signals that the possessor is they/them. The resulting word is typically part of a noun phrase and can function as a subject or object within a sentence, depending on word order. For example, a sentence such as “Az antennájuk a toronynál van” means “Their antenna is at the tower.”

Context and notes: Antennájuk often appears in everyday language when describing equipment, sensory organs, or other antenna-like structures belonging to a group. Like other Hungarian possessive forms, antennájuk is inflected to reflect who owns the item, while the possessed noun (antenna) remains unchanged in its base form. The word is mainly encountered in Hungarian texts and speech and illustrates how ownership is encoded directly on the noun.

Related concepts: The expression is part of Hungarian possessive morphology and is related to other forms such as antennája (his/her/its antenna) and antennáik (their antennas), which show how possessive suffixes vary with the owner and number.
