Szerveinek

Szerveinek is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the plural noun szervek, meaning organs. It functions as the possessive/genitive form used to indicate that the organs belong to someone or something, corresponding to English phrases such as “of its organs” or “of their organs.” The form is created by taking the plural stem szervek and attaching the possessive suffix -einek, which signals a third-person possessor. In context, the possessor is determined by the surrounding sentence.

In typical usage, szerveinek appears in noun phrases that refer to anatomy or physiology. For example, az állat szerveinek működése means “the functioning of the animal’s organs,” and a növény szerveinek elhelyezkedése can be translated as “the arrangement of the plant’s organs.” The phrase is common in scientific, medical, and educational Hungarian, where precise reference to body parts or organ-like structures is important.

Notes on scope and meaning: szerveinek can refer to internal anatomical organs in animals and humans, as well as to analogous organs in plants or to components within an organized system considered as “organs.” The exact possessor (he, she, or it) is inferred from the sentence and context. Because Hungarian possessive forms change with person and number, the same stem can yield szerveinek for one possessor and szerveik for another, depending on who possesses the organs.

Related terms include szervek (organs), szerv (an organ), and szervezet (organization or organism).
