Korlátaik

Korlát is a Hungarian word meaning barrier, railing, fence, or limit. Korlátaik is the third-person plural possessive form, meaning “their barriers” or “their limits.” The term can refer to physical barriers (such as fences or safety rails) as well as to figurative boundaries (rules, constraints, thresholds) that restrict actions or possibilities. In general usage, korlátaik points to limits belonging to the group described by the sentence.

Formation and grammar: In Hungarian, possession is expressed with suffixes attached to the noun. Korlát takes the standard plural possessive suffix to form korlátaik. This form marks that the barriers or limits are owned by a plural subject (they). The exact shape of possessive endings can vary with vowel harmony in other nouns, but korlátaik is the common form for “their limits.”

Usage and scope: The term appears in both literal and figurative contexts. In discussions of infrastructure or safety, korlátaik may refer to physical barriers that restrict access or define space. In policy and ethics discourse, it denotes the constraints a group or organization faces, such as rules, guidelines, or boundaries on behavior. Korlátaik is often used in contrast with related terms like korlátozás (restriction) and határ (boundary or border).
