Határait

Határait is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun határ, which means border, boundary, or limit. In its basic sense it refers to the borders or limits of something. The word is most commonly encountered in contexts describing physical borders, such as the borders of a country, but can also be used figuratively to denote limits or boundaries in a broader sense.

In grammar, határait is the definite accusative plural form of határ. It is used when the borders are treated as a definite object of a verb, often with a preceding possessor in the genitive to specify whose borders are meant. For example, in the sentence Az ország határait szigorúan ellenőrzik, the phrase az ország határait means “the country’s borders” and határait functions as the definite object of the verb ellenőrzik (they monitor/inspect).

The term appears across various domains. In geography and politics it refers to national or regional borders. In everyday language it can describe any clearly defined boundary, such as the limits of a park, a property line, or metaphorical boundaries in discussions of freedom or possibility. In mathematics and related fields, határ is used in compounds such as határérték (limit value), where the concept of boundary or edge plays a central role, though this particular usage engages different grammatical forms.

Overall, határait highlights the definite, bordered aspect of a boundary as an object of action or description, distinguishing it from the more general plural határok or the possessive határai. See also határ, határérték, határidő for related terms and concepts.
