Csúcsait

Csúcsait is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun csúcs (peak). It represents the definite accusative plural form combined with a third-person possessive suffix, conveying the sense of “its peaks” or “their peaks” depending on the context. The form is used when the peaks belong to a previously mentioned subject and are treated as a definite object within the sentence.

Morphology and use. The form csúcsait is built from csúcs plus a possessive suffix (-ai) indicating third-person possession, with the definite direct object marker -t appended. This combination marks both possession (whose peaks) and definiteness (the peaks are identified as a specific set). As a result, csúcsait typically appears in sentences where the peaks are the object of an action and the possessor is clear from the discourse.

Example usage. A common construction is a sentence describing an action performed on the peaks of a mountain or range. For instance, A hegység csúcsait megmászták translates roughly to “They climbed the mountain range’s peaks,” with csúcsait functioning as the definite object “the peaks” belonging to the hegység (the mountain range). Such usage is typical in descriptive writing about geography, nature, or travel.

Notes. Csúcsait is one of several related forms derived from csúcs and its possessive and case endings. It appears primarily in written Hungarian and formal narration where possession and definiteness need explicit marking. Other related forms include csúcsai (nominative plural with possessor) and variations without the definite object suffix.
