Feladatukat

Feladatukat is a Hungarian grammatical form built from the noun feladat (task) combined with possessive and definite-object suffixes. It expresses “their task” when the phrase is used as a definite direct object in a sentence. The base possessive form feladatuk means “their task” as a noun phrase, while feladatukat adds the definite direct-object ending, signaling that the task is a specifically identifiable object in the discourse.

Morphology and usage: In Hungarian, possessive suffixes attach to the noun to indicate ownership, and a separate definite-object suffix marks direct object with definiteness. Thus feladatuk becomes feladatuk (their task), and the final -at marks the definite direct object, yielding feladatukat. This form commonly appears with verbs of completion or action on the task, such as solving or finishing it. The same pattern applies to the plural sense: a feladataikat can be used when referring to multiple tasks.

Examples:

- Megoldották a feladatukat. — They solved their task.

- Megoldották a feladataikat. — They solved their tasks.

Context and nuance: The choice between a single-task reading and a multi-task reading depends on context and accompanying nouns or verbs. Feladatukat remains a concise, idiomatic way to point to a task owned by a group when the task is the focal point of the action. It illustrates Hungarian’s use of suffixal morphology to encode possession, number, and definiteness within a single word form.
