Melyiké

Melyiké is a Hungarian word that functions as a possessive pronoun. It is used to ask or indicate possession for a singular, non-human noun. The word translates to "whose?" or "which one's?" in English when referring to an object or concept. It is derived from the interrogative pronoun "melyik" (which) and the possessive suffix "-é" (belonging to).

The grammatical function of melyiké is to inquire about ownership or to specify that something belongs to a particular item or concept previously mentioned. For example, in a sentence like "Melyiké ez a könyv?" the question translates to "Whose book is this?". The "-é" ending signifies possession.

Melyiké is distinct from other Hungarian possessive forms. It is specifically used for singular, inanimate objects or abstract nouns, differentiating it from pronouns that refer to people or multiple items. The word's usage is direct and unambiguous within the context of Hungarian grammar, focusing solely on the possessor of a singular, non-living entity.
