Barátnjének

Barátnjének is a Hungarian word that translates to "his/her female friend" or "his/her girlfriend." It is a possessive form of the word "barátnő," which means "female friend" or "girlfriend." The "-jének" suffix indicates a third-person possessive, meaning the friend belongs to someone else (he, she, or it).

The term can be used in various contexts. If someone is referring to their own female friend, they would use "barátnőm" (my female friend). However, "barátnjének" specifically denotes a female friend belonging to a third party. For instance, "Ő a barátnjének" could mean "She is his female friend" or "She is her female friend." The specific gender of the possessor is determined by the context of the conversation.

In a romantic context, "barátnjének" can also imply "his/her girlfriend." Similar to the general female friend usage, the possessive aspect is key. If someone says "Elmentem a barátnjénekkel moziba" (I went to the cinema with his/her girlfriend), it clearly indicates a romantic relationship. The nuances of "barátnő" and its possessive forms are important for understanding social relationships in Hungarian.
