Céljai

Céljai is a Hungarian term that refers to the goals of a subject, typically translated into English as “their goals” or “the goals of someone.” The word combines the base noun cél, meaning goal, with possessive suffixes used in Hungarian to indicate ownership. In standard grammar, céljai is used when the possessor is identifiable and the possessed item is plural, i.e., goals.

Usage in context often appears in discussions of planning, strategy, or aims. For example, the sentence “A vállalat céljai között szerepel a fenntarthatóság bevezetése” conveys “Among the company’s goals is the introduction of sustainability.” Another example, “A projekt céljai között szerepel a költségcsökkentés,” means “The project’s goals include cost reduction.” The exact possessor is determined by surrounding words and pronouns, with céljai functioning as the possessed element in these constructions.

Linguistically, céljai exemplifies Hungarian possessive morphology, where ownership is encoded directly on the noun via suffixes, often reducing the need for separate possessive pronouns in descriptive sentences. The form follows standard orthography and is widely understood by speakers of Hungarian.
