Szintézisük

Szintézisük is a Hungarian nominal phrase formed when the noun szintézis (synthesis) is combined with the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük, yielding the meaning “their synthesis.” The construction is grammatical rather than a separate technical term, and it appears in contexts where a group’s or multiple agents’ synthesis is being referred to.

Etymology and formation: Szintézis comes from the Greek roots syn- “together” and thesis “placing” and is used in Hungarian to denote the process of combining elements into a whole. The suffix -ük marks possession by a plural subject, so szintézisük literally denotes the synthesis belonging to them. The exact spelling follows Hungarian vowel harmony and orthographic rules for possessive suffixes.

Usage and scope: As a possessive noun phrase, szintézisük operates like other possessive constructions in Hungarian. It can function as the subject or object of a sentence and is typically used in scientific, technical, or descriptive prose when referring to the synthesis work conducted by a team, researchers, or multiple entities. It does not denote a distinct scientific concept by itself; rather, it specifies ownership of a synthesis process or its results.

Examples:

- A kutatók szintézisük eredményeit bemutatták. (The researchers presented their synthesis results.)

- A projekt során végzett szintézisük lépéseit részletesen ismertették. (During the project, they detailed the steps of their synthesis.)

Note: Szintézisük is primarily a grammatical construction; its meaning depends on context and the surrounding discourse about who performs the synthesis and what is being synthesized.
