Függségei

"Függségei" is a Hungarian word related to the noun "függőség", commonly translated as "addiction" or "dependence". Depending on context and morphology, it can function as a possessive form meaning "his/her/its addictions" (third-person singular possessive, plural) or appear as a plural form in colloquial or erroneous spellings. The standard plural of függőség is "függőségek", while "függőségei" most transparently reads as the possessive plural ("his/her addictions"). A shortened vowel form ("függségei") may occur in informal usage or typographical variants.

Semantically, the root covers two broad domains. In medicine and psychology it denotes compulsive substance use or behavioural patterns that a person cannot easily control — for example, kémiai függőség (chemical addiction) or viselkedési függőség (behavioural addiction). In technical, social or logical contexts it can mean dependence or a relationship of reliance, as in szoftverfüggőség (software dependency) or függőségi viszony (dependency relation).

Etymologically, the term derives from the verb "függ" (to depend) with the nominalizing suffix "-őség". Usage notes emphasize clarity: in formal writing the distinction among singular, plural and possessive suffixes should be observed to avoid ambiguity. Discussions of függőség typically intersect public health, law, and social policy because of prevention, treatment, and social consequences associated with chronic dependence.
