Legtöbbjük

"Legtöbbjük" is a Hungarian word that translates to "most of them" or "the majority of them" in English. It is a possessive pronoun construction used to indicate that a large portion of a group or collection possesses a certain characteristic, performs a certain action, or is in a particular state. The word is formed by combining "legtöbb" meaning "most" or "the largest number" with the plural possessive suffix "-jük," which indicates possession by "them" (third person plural).

For instance, one might say "A diákok legtöbbjük már hazament" which translates to "Most of the students have already gone home." The construction is versatile and can be applied to animate and inanimate objects alike. Understanding "legtöbbjük" is crucial for comprehending nuances related to quantities and generalities in Hungarian. It signifies that while not all members of the group may share the attribute, a significant majority do.
