Csontja

Csontja is a Hungarian noun form meaning “his bone” or “her bone,” derived from the word csont (bone) with a third-person possessive suffix. In Hungarian, possession is indicated by attaching suffixes to the possessed noun; for third-person singular possessors the suffix is rendered as -ja or -je, depending on vowel harmony and surrounding phonology. When csont is combined with this possessive ending, the resulting form is csontja.

In usage, csontja functions as the possessed noun in a noun phrase, signaling ownership by a third person. The phrase order in Hungarian typically places the possessor before the possessed noun, as in A sportoló csontja, meaning “the athlete’s bone.” The form csontja is common in everyday language and in medical or anatomical contexts to refer to a specific bone belonging to someone.

Examples of use include: A csontja fáj. (His/Her bone hurts.) A sportoló csontja megsérült. (The athlete’s bone was injured.) The word can appear in various sentences where a bone is being discussed with a specific owner rather than in a general, indefinite sense.
