Keresését

Keresését is a Hungarian noun form that derives from keresés, meaning the act of searching or seeking. The word keresését represents a possessive, definite-object form, roughly translating to “his/her/its search” or “the search of him/her/it,” depending on context. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used when the noun functions as the direct object of a verb and the possessor is clear or specified.

In linguistic terms, keresését results from attaching the definite-object marker to the noun keresés and indicating possession in third person. The form signals that the search belongs to a particular subject and that the speaker regards the search as a definite, bounded object within the sentence. The exact possessor (who the search belongs to) is supplied by surrounding context or another pronoun in the clause.

Usage notes:

- Keresését appears primarily in written Hungarian, especially in formal or narrative contexts, where precision about who owns the search is relevant.

- It answers questions such as “What is belonging to whom?” within the sentence’s verb structure, rather than standing as a general concept on its own.

- As with other definite-object possessive forms, its use relies on context to identify the owner.
