Fontosságuk

Fontosságuk is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning "their importance." It is formed from the noun fontosság (importance) plus the third-person plural possessive suffix -uk, which marks that the importance belongs to several subjects. The term is used in academic, professional, and public discourse to refer to how significant a set of items, actions, or considerations is within a discussion or decision-making process. As a possessive construction, fontosságuk highlights whose importance is being discussed.

Grammar and morphology: The suffix -uk appears because the stem fontosság contains a back vowel. Hungarian possessive suffixes attach to noun stems to indicate ownership by a person or group; in the plural third person, the suffix is -uk or -ük depending on vowel harmony. Consequently, fontosságuk is the standard form for "their importance."

Usage examples: In practice, fontosságuk is used when referring to the importance of multiple subjects. Example sentences (simplified): "A projektek fontosságuk megállapítása érdekében adatokat gyűjtöttek." and "Fontosságuk megítélése befolyásolta a döntést." These constructions show how the word integrates into clauses that compare, assess, or prioritize items in discussions or analyses.
