Státusának

Státusának is the Hungarian genitive case form of the noun státusz, which translates into English as “status”. The Hungarian language uses particles (case endings) to indicate grammatical relations, and the genitive is typically expressed by the suffix –nak (or –nek in vowel‑harmonized contexts). Thus, státusz becomes státusának when modified by a following noun or pronoun that denotes possession or association. For example, “John’s status” in Hungarian would be “John státusának”. The genitive construction often signals a relationship such as ownership, origin, or characteristic belonging to the noun that follows the form.

The word státusz itself was borrowed from the Latin status and entered Hungarian through the influence of German and Latin languages in the 19th century, when concepts of social hierarchy, legal standing and professional classification were discussed within the Austro‑Hungarian context. Its meaning has expanded from a strictly socio‑legal sense to include broader contexts such as digital status indicators, institutional rank, and personal prestige.

In contemporary usage, státusának frequently appears in formal contexts such as legal documents, academic writing, and bureaucratic forms. It is also used in informal speech and online communication when users refer to someone’s position or reputation in a group. Because Hungarian frequently relies on case endings rather than prepositions, the genitive form plays a central role in connecting nouns and clarifying relational meanings.
