Nyelésének

Nyelésének is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from nyelés, the noun for the act of swallowing. Nyelés itself comes from the verb nyelni (to swallow) with the noun-forming suffix -és, yielding “swallowing.” The ending -ének in nyelésének indicates a genitive or dative relation to a third-person possessor, so the phrase can mean “of someone’s swallowing” or “to/for someone’s swallowing,” depending on context. In practice, nyelésének functions as a possessive with a case-like nuance rather than as a standalone noun phrase.

In usage, nyelésének appears in medical, linguistic, or descriptive prose when one needs to specify that something relates to a particular person’s swallowing. For example, a sentence like A nyelésének zavara nehezíti az étkezést translates to “The swallowing impairment of the patient makes eating difficult.” Another form, nyelésének mechanizmusa, can be read as “the mechanism of swallowing” in contexts where the referent is understood from prior discussion. The exact interpretation hinges on context and the omitted or explicit possessor.

Etymology and morphology: nyelés is formed from nyelni + -és to create a noun meaning the act of swallowing. The suffix -ének attaches to indicate a possessive relationship with a third-person referent and, together with surrounding context, can convey either a genitive “of” or a dative “to/for.” For general reference to the act itself, nyelés suffices; nyelésének specifies possession or related indirect relation.
