Anyagukat

anyagukat is a form in Hungarian that translates roughly to “their materials.” It is not a standalone noun but a combination of the nounanyag, the possessive suffix -uk (third-person plural), and the definite direct-object marker -at, resulting in a phrase used when the materials belong to a group and are treated as a definite object in the sentence. The form demonstrates how Hungarian encodes possession and definiteness in a single word.

Formation and morphology

- base noun: anyag (material, substance)

- possessive suffix: -uk means “their”

- definite direct-object suffix: -at (plural, used with a definite object)

Thus, anyag + -uk + -at yields anyagukat, meaning “their materials” as the definite direct object. The exact spelling adapts to phonology and harmony, but the general pattern is consistent: noun + possessive suffix + DO marker.

Usage

anyagukat appears in sentences where the possessed materials are the definite object of the verb. Examples:

- Megmutatták az anyagukat. (They showed their materials.)

- Az anyagukat a projekt részeként használták fel. (They used their materials as part of the project.)

In both cases, anyagukat signals that the materials belong to a specific group and are being referred to as a known, definite set of materials.

Notes

- The form is common in written and spoken Hungarian where possession and definiteness need to be explicitly marked.

- Related forms include anyaguk (their material, singular) and anyagok (their materials, plural without definite object marker). See also Hungarian possessive suffixes and definite direct object marking.
