Keretének

Keretének is the Hungarian genitive construction formed from the noun keret, which has several related meanings. Keret can denote a physical frame or border (such as a picture frame or door frame), a framework or system for organizing something, and a budget or spending limit used by a person, organization, or government. Keretének is the third-person singular possessive form that expresses “of its frame” or “the frame’s,” and, more broadly, “of its budget” when keret is used in the budget sense. It is used in noun phrases to indicate possession by a third party or by an inanimate subject.

Examples illustrate its use. A festmény keretének színe fehér means “The color of the painting’s frame is white.” A szervezet keretének növeléséről döntöttek translates to “They decided to increase the organization’s budget.” In both cases, keretének marks possession by the subject previously mentioned or implied, linking the possessed item (the frame or the budget) to its owner or controlling entity.

In usage, keretének appears in formal and written Hungarian when the relationship between the possessor and the possessed item is explicit. Because keret covers both physical and abstract senses, keretének can refer to either a tangible frame or an organizational budget, depending on context. For related terms and nuances, see keret.
