Fajtáik

Fajtáik is the third-person plural possessive form of fajta, a Hungarian noun meaning breed, variety, or type. The form translates roughly as “their breeds” or “their varieties” and is used when referring to multiple breeds owned or described by the subject. It is a standard inflection in Hungarian grammar and appears in contexts such as animal breeding, horticulture, and taxonomy.

Morphology and formation: The base noun fajta forms a plural as fajták. To express possession by a third-person plural subject, Hungarian attaches a possessive suffix to the plural, yielding fajtáik. In use, fajtáik agrees in number with the possessed item (breeds) and indicates possession by “they.” The construction is typically followed by modifiers or adjectives, e.g., fajtáik hosszú távú gondozását (the long-term care of their breeds).

Usage and examples: Fajtáik is commonly employed when discussing the characteristics, care, or status of several breeds within a group. Example sentences: A tenyésztők fajtáik hosszú távú gondozását hangsúlyozzák. A kiállításon megmutatták fajtáik változatosságát. In contrast, a singular possessor would use a different form, such as fajta vagy fajtája, to indicate “its breed” or “his/her breed.”

Notes: Fajtáik is not a standalone lexical item with a separate meaning beyond its grammatical function; it is an inflected form used to express possession. It appears in formal and scholarly Hungarian, especially in discussions of breeds across animal and plant categories.
