Középpontjuk

Középpontjuk is a Hungarian term formed as the third-person plural possessive form of középpont, the noun meaning center or focal point. The base középpont is a compound of közép (middle) and pont (point). The possessive suffix -juk marks ownership by a plural subject, producing “their center.”

In usage, középpontjuk refers to the central element or focus of a group, project, discussion, or narrative. It is used to indicate what a collective considers its main concern or organizing principle. The exact meaning depends on context and can range from a literal center to a figurative emphasis.

Morphology and harmony: Hungarian possessive suffixes vary with vowel harmony. For nouns with a back vowel in the stem, the 3rd person plural possessive is -juk; with front vowels it is -jük. Therefore, from középpont you get középpontjuk. If the stem were different, you might see -jük instead. This form demonstrates how possessive morphology interacts with stem vowels in Hungarian.

Notes: Középpontjuk is not a proper noun by itself but a grammatical form used in reference to a group’s center. It can appear in academic, journalistic, or descriptive prose when discussing collective aims or priorities.
