Identitását

Identitását is a grammatical form in Hungarian rather than a standalone concept. It represents the definite accusative singular ending of the noun identitás, which means identity. In Hungarian, the definite object form marks that the identity in question is part of a known, specific reference, typically tied to a verb’s direct object.

In use, identitását appears in sentences where the speaker refers to a particular identity as what is affected by the action. For example, in a sentence such as Megőrizte identitását, the phrase indicates that the subject preserved its own or another’s identity as a definite object. The form can occur with different subjects and contexts, including legal, sociological, or literary discussions about personal, national, or organizational identity. The same root may take other inflected endings to fit number, case, or possessive relations, but identitását specifically signals a definite direct object in the singular.

Etymologically, identitás comes from the Latin identitas and has been adapted into Hungarian with standard Hungarian noun inflection. The definite accusative form identitását demonstrates how Hungarian marks definiteness in the direct object, often interacting with possessive suffixes for third-person references.

See also identitás, identitások. In broader usage, the concept of identity spans psychology, sociology, law, and philosophy, while identitását is simply the morphological form used within Hungarian sentences to denote “its/your/their identity” as a definite object.
