Forrásai

Forrásai is a Hungarian form derived from the noun forrás, meaning source. The word forrás has two main senses in Hungarian: a source of information or origin, and a natural spring or fountain. The form forrásai represents a possessive construction, generally translated as “its sources” or “their sources,” depending on the possessor. In standard usage, it is used to refer to the sources belonging to a specific subject, such as a document or a work. For example: “A könyv forrásai megbízhatóak” means “The book’s sources are reliable.” In this sense, forrásai functions as a noun phrase indicating multiple sources tied to one possessor.

As a standalone form, forrásai may appear in contexts where the possessor is understood from the surrounding text. It is common in formal writing to discuss the sources underpinning a claim, a study, or a narrative by naming the possessor and then using forrásai to refer to those sources. The more general plural noun for sources, without possessive meaning, is források.

In addition to informational use, forrás can denote a natural spring, so forrásai can also refer to the springs belonging to a place or person, though this sense is less common in scholarly prose and typically clarified by context.
