Forrásának

Forrásának is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun forrás (source). It results from attaching the third-person possessive suffix -a/-e to the stem forrás and then adding the dative/indirect-object suffix -nak/-nek, producing -ának. In other words, it is the combination of a possessive and a case ending on the noun, used to link the noun phrase to another element in a sentence.

In usage, forrásának functions to indicate possession or a close relational link between the possessor and the noun it describes, often translating roughly as “of its source” or “to its source” depending on context and sentence structure. It is common in formal or written Hungarian, especially in academic, journalistic, or legal prose, where precise attribution to a source is important.

Common examples:

- A cikk forrásának neve még nem ismert. (The article’s source name is not yet known.)

- A forrásának hitelessége vitatható. (The credibility of its source is debatable.)

- A vizsgálat ezt a dokumentumot a forrásának tekinti. (The study regards this document as its source.)

Morphology and terminology:

- Forrás: a root meaning “source.”

- -a/-e: 3rd person possessive suffix, indicating “its” or “his/her.”

- -nak/-nek: dative or indirect-object suffix, used here in combination to form forrásának.

Thus, forrásának is not a standalone lexeme but a grammatical inflection used to express possessive and relational meaning within noun phrases.
