Nyerését

Nyerését is a form of the Hungarian noun nyerés, which denotes the act of winning or gaining, such as a victory in a competition or a financial gain. The base noun nyerés comes from the verb nyerni, meaning “to win.” The suffix -ét marks a third-person possessive with a definite object, yielding a phrase that can be translated as “his/her/its win” or “the win of someone/something” when used as the object of a verb or in a possessive noun clause. In practice, nyerését appears in contexts where the win is attributed to or owned by a person or entity.

In usage, nyerését is most commonly found in written Hungarian—news, sports commentary, and formal prose—where it can function as the object of a sentence. For example, a sentence might read: A játékos megköszönte a nyerését (The player thanked his win). In business or legal contexts, the term can describe the act of obtaining a contract or bid, though phrases like megnyerését (the winning of a bid) are more typical when referring to the event itself rather than the win as a possession.

Etymologically, nyerését reflects the standard Hungarian pattern of forming nominalized forms from verbs and then marking possessive or definite relations through suffixation. The term thus operates as a precise, formal way to reference a win as something belonging to or attributed to someone, rather than a general or abstract concept of success. See also nyerés, megnyerés.
