Feleségünk

Feleségünk is the Hungarian word for "our wife." It is a possessive form derived from the noun "feleség," which means "wife." The "-ünk" suffix indicates possession by the first-person plural pronoun, meaning "our." Therefore, "feleségünk" refers to a wife in relation to a group of people, most commonly a married couple or a family unit where the wife is spoken of from the perspective of both spouses.

The term "feleségünk" is used in everyday conversation and within formal contexts in Hungarian. Its usage reflects a sense of shared ownership or belonging within a marital partnership. For instance, when speaking about their shared home, a couple might say, "Ez a mi feleségünk háza" (This is our wife's house), though more commonly, they would refer to their shared property without explicitly using the possessive form of "wife" in this manner. More naturally, it would be used in a sentence like, "Ma vacsorázni megy a feleségünkkel" (Today we are going to dinner with our wife), if referring to the wife of one of the speakers from the perspective of both.

The grammatical structure of "feleségünk" is a common way to express possession in Hungarian, where suffixes are attached to the noun to denote the possessor. The use of "feleségünk" emphasizes the communal aspect of marriage, even if it is typically used from the perspective of the husband speaking about his wife in a way that includes his own identity within the marital unit, or in a context where multiple people are referring to the same woman as "wife" in relation to their collective group.
