Kerekét

Kerekét is a grammatical form of the Hungarian noun kerék, meaning wheel. It is used to refer to a wheel belonging to someone or something and to mark the wheel as a definite direct object in a sentence. The form is not a separate word with its own meaning; rather, it is a inflected form that combines the base noun kerék with possessive and definite-object markings.

Morphology and interpretation: kerék is the singular noun for wheel. When expressing possession by a third party and treating the wheel as a specific object, Hungarian uses a definite-object possessive construction, yielding kerékének? In written form, this often appears as kerékét, indicating “its/their/your wheel” in the definite sense, depending on context. The exact pronoun reference is determined by the surrounding sentence.

Usage: kerekét is commonly found in descriptions of vehicles, machinery, or anatomical or figurative contexts where ownership and a specific object are emphasized. It appears in both ordinary speech and written Hungarian, particularly when the wheel is the direct object of a verb and the owner is clear from context.

Examples:

- A kerekét meg kell javítani. (Its wheel must be repaired.)

- A kocsi kerekét cserélik ki. (The car’s wheel is being replaced.)

See also: kerék, wheel (the base lexical item from which kerekét is derived).
