Dobása

Dobása is a Hungarian linguistic form built from the noun dobás, which means “a throw” or “the act of throwing.” In ordinary use, dobás denotes throwing in sports or games, such as throwing a ball or equipment in track and field. The form dobása adds a third-person possessive suffix, indicating “his/her/its throw.” In practice, dobása is most often read as “his/her throw” or “the throw of …” depending on the surrounding context.

In Hungarian grammar, the possessive suffix attaches to the possessed noun. For example, in a sentence like Péter dobása, the phrase means “Péter’s throw.” This construction is common in sports reporting or commentary, where one may refer to a competitor’s performance by stating terms such as “a dobása” (the throw of the competitor) or “Péter dobása” (Péter’s throw).

Usage and interpretation: dobása is typically used when discussing a specific throw by an athlete, or when describing the throwing action in a general sense within a narrative. It is primarily encountered in Hungarian-language contexts, especially in sports journalism or summaries.

Beyond Hungarian, dobása does not constitute a separate English term and is not widely recognized outside Hungarian usage. When encountered in multilingual texts, it should be understood within its Hungarian grammatical role as a possessive form of dobás meaning “the throw belonging to” someone.
