Szerepei

Szerepei is a Hungarian word that derives from szerep, meaning role or part. It is used as a possessive form to refer to roles belonging to someone or to multiple people, and is commonly translated as “his/her roles” or “their roles” depending on the possessor in context.

Grammatically, szerepei functions as a plural possessive form of szerep. It appears in phrases where the narrator refers to several roles associated with a single person or with a group. In everyday language it can indicate that someone holds multiple functions, duties, or social roles, not limited to theatre or film.

In practice, szerepei is often found in discussions of theatre, film, and literature when describing an actor’s body of work or an author's or character’s portfolio of roles. It also appears in sociological or professional contexts to describe the various functions a person performs within a team, organization, or community. For example, a critic might note that an actor’s szerepei range from lead dramatic roles to supporting comedies, highlighting versatility.

Usage notes: like many Hungarian possessive forms, szerepei relies on context to determine the exact possessor (he, she, it, or they) and number. It is distinct from szerep in its indication of ownership and plurality, and is not a standalone noun outside of this possessive function. See also szerep, the base noun meaning role.
