Termékeiket

Termékeiket is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning “their products.” It is formed from the noun termék (product) with the third-person plural possessive suffix, and, when used as a definite direct object, with the definite object suffix -et. The result is termékeiket, which can be translated as “their products” when the referent is definite in the context.

Morphology and usage notes:

In Hungarian, possessive suffixes attach to the noun before the definite direct object marker. For “their,” the suffix appears as -eik (yielding termékeik). When the object is definite, Hungarian commonly adds the definite direct object suffix -t (often realized as -et due to vowel harmony), producing termékeiket. Thus the base sequence is termék + eik + et, giving termékeiket. The form is used specifically when the speaker treats the product set as a known, identifiable object within the discourse.

Examples:

- A vállalat a termékeiket a kiállításon mutatta be. (The company presented their products at the exhibition.)

- Megvizsgálták a termékeiket, és javaslatokat tettek a fejlesztésre. (They examined their products and made recommendations for development.)

Context and register:

Termékeiket is common in business, marketing, and formal reporting, where a company or group’s catalogued products are referenced as a definite entity. It contrasts with termékeik, which can occur when the object is definite in meaning but the linguistic marking is less formal, or when emphasis shifts within a sentence. Overall, termékeiket surfaces in contexts that require specifying ownership by a third party and treating the products as a known, identifiable set.
