Tartásuk

Tartásuk is the Hungarian possessive form used with the noun tartás to indicate something belonging to “them.” The base noun tartás has several related meanings, including posture or bearing, conduct or demeanor, and maintenance or support. The exact sense of tartásuk depends on the context in which it appears.

In everyday language, tartás most often refers to physical posture or bearing—the way a person holds their body. In this sense tartásuk would denote how they carry themselves. Tartás can also mean behavior or conduct, referring to someone’s manners or deportment in a social or professional setting. In legal or financial contexts, tartás means maintenance or support provided to dependents, such as family members, and tartásuk in such contexts would mean “their maintenance” or “their support obligations.”

Usage notes: distinguishing the senses relies on surrounding words. If the topic is body alignment or sports, tartásuk points to posture. If the discussion concerns manners or attitude, it signals conduct. If the discourse is about financial support, tartásuk refers to maintenance arrangements.
