Côme

Címe is the third-person singular possessive form of the Hungarian noun cím, which can mean either a title or an address, depending on context. The form címe denotes ownership by a third person or a non-first party entity, as in “az ő címe” (his/her/its title or address).

Meanings and usage

As a title, cím is used to refer to the name of a work, such as a book, film, or article. In this sense, you typically pair the noun with the verb lehet or the phrase “a címe,” for example: A regény címe: A Fény. Here címe functions as “the title.” As a postal or contact address, cím refers to the location where someone or an organization can be reached. In possessive form, címe indicates that the address belongs to someone or something: A cég címe Budapesten található—the company’s address is located in Budapest.
