Nyákja

Nyákja is a Hungarian word that translates to "his/her/its neck" in English. It is the possessive form of the noun "nyak," which means "neck." The suffix "-ja" indicates third-person singular possession. This grammatical structure is common in Hungarian for indicating ownership or a relationship between a person or entity and an object or body part.

The word "nyákja" would be used in a sentence to refer to the neck belonging to a specific male, female, or neuter singular subject. For example, one might say "A kutya nyákja hosszú" which translates to "The dog's neck is long," where "nyákja" refers to the dog's neck. Similarly, in a sentence like "A fiú nyákja fájt" ("The boy's neck hurt"), "nyákja" denotes the boy's neck. The context of the sentence clarifies whose neck is being discussed.

Hungarian grammar employs a system of suffixes to denote possession, number, and case, which differs significantly from English. The "-ja" suffix is one of the most frequently used possessive suffixes for singular possessors. Understanding this possessive structure is key to comprehending Hungarian vocabulary and sentence construction. The word itself, "nyákja," is a common and straightforward example of this grammatical feature in everyday language.
