Korlátja

Korlátja is a Hungarian possessive form built from the noun korlát, which can refer to a physical barrier such as a railing or fence, as well as to a figurative bound or limit. The form korlátja indicates that the barrier or limit belongs to or is associated with someone or something, for example a particular object, system, or person.

In ordinary usage, korlát can denote concrete structures that constrain movement or separate spaces, such as guardrails, fences, or safety barriers. It can also be used metaphorically to describe limits, ceilings, or constraints on quantities, possibilities, or actions. This dual sense makes korlátja a common term in both everyday language and technical or analytical contexts.

Grammatically, korlátja is formed by adding the third-person possessive suffix -ja to korlát. The exact use of the possessive suffix follows standard Hungarian rules for possession, and korlátja will be declined like a regular possessive noun in different grammatical cases as required by the sentence.

Examples illustrate its range of meanings. A ház korlátja rozsdás. (The house’s railing is rusty.) A rendszer korlátja a memóriaméret. (The system’s limit is the memory size.) In technical writing, korlátja often translates to “its limit” or “its bound,” while in general prose it more commonly means a physical barrier.
