Genitivuszának

Genitivuszának is a Hungarian possessive suffix. It is the third-person singular possessive form of the genitive case. In Hungarian grammar, the genitive case typically indicates possession or belonging. The suffix "-nak/-nek" is the dative case marker, but in combination with the possessive suffix "-a/-e", it forms a specific possessive structure.

When referring to a singular possessed item belonging to a singular possessor, the structure is often "possessor-nak/-nek + possessed item-a/-e". For example, "Péternek a könyve" translates to "Peter's book". Here, "Péternek" is the genitive (dative) form of Péter, and "könyve" is the singular noun "könyv" (book) with the third-person singular possessive suffix "-e".

The suffix "-ának" is used when the possessed noun ends in a front vowel (e, é, i, í, ö, ő, ü, ű) or is a loanword that follows front vowel harmony. For example, "a háznak a falai" (the walls of the house), where "háznak" is the genitive of "ház" (house), and "falai" is the plural of "fal" (wall) with the third-person plural possessive suffix. The "-ának" specifically attaches to the genitive case form of the possessor. Therefore, "genitivuszának" itself refers to this combined grammatical form, indicating possession by a third-person singular entity.
