Genitívuszának

"Genitívuszának" is a Hungarian linguistics term referring to the grammatical form of a noun or pronoun used in the genitive case, specifically to denote possession or association. The word derives from "genitívusz," which means "genitive," and the suffix "-ának," indicating the third person singular possessive form in certain grammatical contexts.

In Hungarian grammar, the genitive case is employed to express relationships akin to the English possessive "'s" or the preposition "of." For example, in the phrase "Anna könyvének" (Anna's book), "könyv" (book) is in the genitive form, indicating possession. The suffix "-ének" is used here for third person singular nouns ending with vowels, transforming the noun into its genitive form.

"Genitívuszának" as a term emphasizes the form and function of a noun in the genitive case within a sentence. It often appears in linguistic discussions and grammatical descriptions focusing on the declension patterns of Hungarian nouns and pronouns. The correct application of this form is essential for conveying precise relationships and attributes in Hungarian sentences.

Understanding the genitive case, including forms like "genitívuszának," is vital for grasping Hungarian syntax and morphology. It exemplifies the language's agglutinative nature, where suffixes are added to base words to modify their grammatical functions. This case plays a crucial role in expressing authorship, origin, or belonging within the Hungarian language.
