Fájdalmát

Fájdalmát is a Hungarian noun form derived from fájdalom, meaning pain or sorrow. It functions as the definite-accusative form of the noun and is used when the pain is the direct object of the verb in a sentence. The form combines the root fájdalom with the definite-object suffix -át, and in writing it is typically used with a definite determiner, such as a or az, to signal specificity (for example, a fájdalmát, meaning “his/her/its pain” in the sense of “the pain”).

Usage and nuance: In Hungarian, fájdalom can refer to physical pain or emotional pain. The definite-accusative form fájdalmát highlights the pain as the focal point of the clause, often conveying that the speaker is discussing or reacting to that specific pain rather than pain in general. The phrase can appear in medical, personal, or literary contexts, where the speaker attributes or describes a particular pain to someone.

Examples: Bevallotta a fájdalmát. (He/she confessed his/her pain.) A fájdalmát megosztotta a családjával. (They shared their pain with their family.) These examples illustrate how fájdalmát is used to mark pain as the object of the action.

Relation to the base noun: Fájdalom is the unmarked form meaning “pain.” Fájdalmát is one of its definite-object forms, used to specify which pain is being discussed and to indicate possession or association through context rather than by the noun alone.
