Pályái

Pályái is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun pálya. Pálya has several related senses, including track or lane used in sports or racing, a course or route, a field or area of activity, and, in a figurative sense, a person’s career or professional sphere. Pályái specifically marks possession by a third-person singular subject, roughly translating to “its tracks” or “its courses” in English. It is not a standalone lexical item but an inflected form used within a larger noun phrase.

In practice, pályái appears where one attribute belongs to a single owner and concerns tracks, routes, or domains. Because pálya covers both physical and metaphorical meanings, pályái can refer to physical tracks or lanes that belong to something (for example, a vehicle or facility) as well as to abstract domains or fields of operation associated with a person or organization. The exact translation depends on context.

Grammatically, pályái is formed by adding the possessive suffix indicating a third-person singular owner to the stem pálya. It contrasts with other possessive forms that indicate different owners (for example, first or second person) and with the plural forms used when referencing multiple owners.
