Fészkük

Fészkük is a Hungarian noun form meaning “their nest.” It is created by attaching the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük to the noun fészek (nest). In Hungarian, possession is shown by suffixes attached directly to the noun rather than by a separate possessive determiner, so fészkük translates literally as “their nest.”

Morphology and usage

The base word fészek denotes a nest, and the suffix -ük marks possession by a group of people or animals. The result is a complete noun phrase that can function in sentences like other Hungarian noun phrases. The form is versatile and can refer to nests of birds, insects, or other animals, as well as to a figurative home or base for a group.

Examples

A fészkük a fán van. (Their nest is on the tree.)

A fészkük már üres. (Their nest is already empty.)

Context and nuance

Fészkük is a neutral, descriptive construction used across naturalistic writing and everyday speech. It does not specify the number or identity of the possessors beyond the plural third person, which is encoded in the suffix. The word can be extended with adjectives or determiners as needed to clarify context or emphasis.
