Kijelentésein

Kijelentésein is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the noun kijelentés, meaning a statement or declaration. It represents the possessive plural of the noun (kijelentései) combined with a locative/inessive suffix, producing a phrase that means “in his/her/its/their statements.” The exact possessor is determined by context, for example vádlott kijelentései = the defendant’s statements, while kijelentésein = in the defendant’s statements.

In use, kijelentésein is a grammatical tool for referring to material contained within someone’s statements. It is common in legal, journalistic, and academic Hungarian when discussing what is said within someone’s statements or when drawing conclusions based on those statements. The form can appear in phrases such as kijelentésein alapuló bizonyítékok (evidence based on his/her statements) or egy kijelentésein keresztül történő érvelés (an argument through/within his/her statements).

The word illustrates Hungarian’s agglutinative morphology, where a base noun is expanded with possessive and case suffixes to express ownership and relation to location or content. While it is a plain grammatical form, its precise meaning depends on the surrounding nouns to identify whose statements are being referred to and in what sense they are being considered (content, basis for argument, quotation, etc.). See also kijelentés (statement) and nyilatkozat (declaration) for related terms.
