Gyermekkorának

Gyermekkorának is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from the noun gyermekkor (childhood) with a third-person possessive suffix, used to denote something belonging to or associated with someone’s childhood. It translates roughly as “of his/her/its childhood” or “his/her/its childhood’s.” The form is typically used in literary or formal prose to connect a possessed element to the possessor’s childhood.

The construction signals possession rather than a temporal sense. It answers questions such as whose memories, experiences, or influences are being referred to. For example: gyermekkorának emlékei means “the memories of his/her childhood,” gyermekkorának hatása means “the influence of his/her childhood.” The phrase can modify a following noun (e.g., emlékei, története, hatása), and it can appear with other modifiers inside a noun phrase.

In contrast to forms like gyermekkorában (in his/her childhood) or gyermekkorom/gyermekkorod (my/your childhood), gyermekkorának expresses possession by a third person or by something related to that third person’s childhood. The plural possessive form for a group possessor is typically not gyakorlatilag változatban; in common usage, ako of multiple owners would use a different construction (e.g., gyermekkorukemlékei).

Related topics include the base noun gyermekkor, the time-focused form gyermekkorában, and the general Hungarian possessive system, where suffixes mark person and case. The phrase is most common in written Hungarian, essays, biographies, and analyses that reflect on the influence or artifacts of someone’s childhood.
