Példái

Példái is a Hungarian noun form derived from példa, meaning "example." It is used to refer to examples that belong to someone or to a group, and it appears in possessive constructions with a preceding possessive noun, indicating "the X's examples." The basic plural of példa in nominative is példák; when the noun is possessed by someone, the form can become példái, as in az író példái (the writer’s examples), a tanárok példái (the teachers’ examples).

Morphology and usage patterns are typical of Hungarian possessive constructions. The form példa can take a plural possessive ending to indicate ownership by a singular or plural possessor, resulting in a form like példái in commonly used phrases. This construction is productive in formal and academic language, where speakers discuss what a person or group has shown or provided as examples. Common collocations include az író példái, a kutatók példái, and a tanárok példái, all meaning "the author’s examples," "the researchers’ examples," and "the teachers’ examples," respectively.

In usage, példái functions as a plural noun phrase that foregrounds the examples supplied by a specified possessor. It often appears in comparative, analytical, or illustrative contexts, such as essays, textbooks, or linguistic analyses, where illustrating points with concrete examples is important. While példái is tied to possession, it remains a straightforward, easily understood form within standard Hungarian syntax.
