Esését

Esését is a Hungarian linguistic form that functions as the possessive, definite object form of the noun esés, meaning “its fall” or “the fall of it.” The base noun esés comes from esik, “to fall,” and it has several senses in Hungarian, including a physical fall, a decline or decrease in quantity or value, and, in meteorological or general usage, a sense of precipitation or a falling of measures.

In grammar, esését is typically analyzed as esés plus the third-person possessive suffix and the definite direct-object suffix -t, yielding a form that translates to “its fall” or “the fall of it” when the fall is treated as a specific, identifiable object in the sentence. The exact shape follows standard Hungarian vowel harmony rules, and the form may appear in sentences where a possessed fall is the object of the verb.

Usage notes: Esését appears in contexts where a fall or decline belonging to a particular subject is described as a definite object. It is common in discussions of economics, finance, or measurements, where the fall of a variable (such as prices or exchange rates) is treated as a concrete thing affected by or impacting actors.

Example: A piac az árfolyam esését szenvedte el. Translation: The market suffered the fall of the exchange rate.
