Megjelenésüket

Megjelenésüket is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “their appearance” that is used as a definite direct object in a sentence. It is derived from the noun megjelenés (appearance, showing up) and combines the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük/-ük with the definite object suffix -et, yielding megjelenésüket. The usual order is root + possessive suffix + definite object suffix, with vowel harmony guiding the exact spelling.

Usage and function: The form typically appears in formal or written language when referring to the appearance or arrival of people or groups at events, in media reports, or other contexts where appearance is the object of the verb. It emphasizes the act of showing up or being present rather than a quality of appearance.

Nuance: Megjelenésüket is distinct from megjelenés (the mere concept of appearance) and from other possessive forms such as megjelenésük (their appearance as a subject or non-definite object). It is most often encountered in sentences describing actions taken with respect to someone’s presence, such as verbal acknowledgments, greetings, or official notices.

Examples:

- A rendezvény szervezői megköszönték a vendégek megjelenésüket. (The organizers thanked the guests for their appearance.)

- A közönség a műsor végén megjelenésüket üdvözölte. (The audience welcomed their appearance at the end of the show.)
