Sikerének

Sikerének is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun siker, meaning “the success of someone or something.” It expresses possession by a third-person singular possessor and marks a genitive relation, functioning similarly to English “of his/her/its success.” The form is commonly found in formal or written Hungarian, where possession is expressed through suffixal endings on the possessed noun.

Morphology and use: In a typical construction, the noun siker receives a possessive suffix for the third person, combined with a genitive ending to indicate possession. The resulting surface form, as in sikerének, signals “the success of” a previously mentioned or understood possessor (for example, the country, a person, or an organization). This form often appears before another noun or a predicate to establish the possessive relationship, as in phrases like “az ország sikerének háttere” (the background of the country’s success) or “ez a személy sikerének kulcsa” (the key to this person’s success).

Examples:

- Az ország sikerének hátterében több tényező áll. (Several factors underlie the country’s success.)

- Ez a személy sikerének kulcsa. (This is the key to his/her success.)

Notes: Sikerének is part of the broader Hungarian system of possessive and genitive marking, where suffixes on the possessed noun convey ownership and grammatical relations. It illustrates how Hungarian encodes “of X” within a single word form, enabling compact, linkable noun phrases in prose.
