Kifejezéseit

Kifejezéseit is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the noun kifejezés, meaning expressions or phrases. It represents a possessed noun that functions as a definite direct object in a sentence. The form shows both possession (belonging to someone) and definiteness of the object.

Morphology and form: The base noun is kifejezés (expression). The suffix -e marks third-person possession (his/her/its). When the noun is used as a definite direct object, the suffix -t is added, producing the form -eit in this context. Thus kifejezéseit translates roughly to “his/her expressions” or “its expressions” when used as a definite object referring to a specific possessor. Other related forms include kifejezései (his/her expressions, non-definite or plural possessive) and kifejezéseik (their expressions). The exact form depends on the person and number of the possessor and on whether the noun is definite in its object role.

Etymology and meaning: The word comes from kifejezés, which means expression or term, itself from the verb kifejezni, to express. The inflected form kifejezéseit thus encodes possession and definiteness within Hungarian morphology, illustrating how nouns can combine possessive and definite suffixes.

Usage and context: kifejezéseit appears in grammatical descriptions, linguistic analyses, or written text where one discusses the expressions of a particular person or entity as a definite object. In everyday language, speakers more commonly use the base possessive or non-definite forms depending on context, such as kifejezése or kifejezései/kifejezéseik, with or without a definite object marker.
