Fogásainak

Fogásainak is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun fogás, used to indicate possession by a third person. The word fogás has two main senses in modern Hungarian: a) a dish or course served in a meal; b) a catch or haul from fishing. Therefore fogásainak can refer to “the dishes” of someone (culinary sense) or “the catches” of someone (fishing sense). The form is commonly encountered in written Hungarian when describing a menu, restaurant offerings, or a fishing report in the third-person possessive/genitive.

In culinary contexts, fogás refers to a course or dish within a meal. Multiple dishes are written as fogások, and expressions involving fogásainak describe ownership or relation to those dishes. For example, a sentence might discuss the variety or presentation of fogásainak in a particular restaurant, meaning the restaurant’s dishes.

In fishing contexts, fogás denotes a catch or haul. Fogásainak then means the catches belonging to or produced by a vessel, fisher, or fishery. A typical usage is to report changes in the quantity or types of fogásainak from a fishing expedition or season, such as the boat’s or fleet’s catches.

Etymology traces both senses to fogni, “to catch,” with the culinary sense historically linked to the idea of presenting what was “caught” on a plate. See also fogás (disambig), étel, halászat, étterem.
