Gondolatát

Gondolatát is a Hungarian inflected form built from the noun gondolat, meaning thought or idea. The form represents the third-person singular possessive construction gondolata, meaning “his/her thought,” combined with the definite direct object marker -t. The result is gondolatát, indicating “his/her thought” as the definite object of the verb in a sentence.

In use, gondolatát appears when the cognitive content belongs to a specified person and is the object of the action. Examples include megosztotta gondolatát (he shared his thought), megmagyarázta gondolatát (he explained his thought), or a mondta: “Gondolatát figyeltem” (I paid attention to his/her thought). The form conveys both ownership (his/her) and definiteness of the object.

Etymology and morphology: gondolat is a deverbative noun formed from gondolni (to think). The possessive suffix -a attaches to form gondolata (his/her thought). The definite direct object suffix -t is then added, producing gondolatát. This pattern—noun plus possessive suffix, then definite object marker—is common in Hungarian for indicating specified ownership and definite object status.
