Magáról

Magáról is a Hungarian postpositional phrase formed from the pronoun maga (oneself) together with the postposition -ról, meaning about. It functions to indicate the topic or subject of discussion, description, or thought as it relates to the person or thing referred to by maga.

Grammatically, magáról is part of a family of forms built from maga plus the -ról/-ről suffix, which marks a topic in the sense of “about.” The form agrees with the person being referred to: magamról (about myself), magadról (about you), magáról (about himself/herself/it), magunkról (about ourselves), magatokról (about you all), magukról (about them).

Usage in sentences is common with verbs of speaking, describing, thinking, or reporting. Examples include:

- Ő magáról beszélt. (He spoke about himself.)

- A beszéd magáról szólt. (The speech was about him.)

- A könyv magáról szól. (The book is about him/her/it.)

Magáról can also appear in idiomatic expressions such as Magáról van szó, meaning “It is about him/her/it” or “That is the matter in question.” The form is flexible for different persons and numbers, producing magamról, magadról, magáról, magunkról, magatokról, magukról as appropriate.
