Termékét

Termékét is a Hungarian morphological form derived from the noun termék, meaning product. It functions as the third-person singular possessive in combination with a definite direct object. In other words, termékét marks that the product belongs to someone (he, she, or it) and is being treated as a definite object in the sentence.

Morphology and usage

In Hungarian, possession is expressed by attaching a possessive suffix to the noun. For the third person singular, the suffix is -e (resulting in terméke). When the possessed noun is used as a definite direct object, Hungarian adds the definite object suffix -t, giving termékét. Therefore, termékét literally encodes “his/her/its product” as a definite object. The form is used when the speaker and listener both know which product is being referred to, and it often appears in sentences about sale, ownership, or product usage.

Examples

- Megvásárolták a termékét. (“They bought his/her product.”)

- A termékét mutatták be a kiállításon. (“They presented his/her/its product at the exhibition.”)

Related forms

The base possessive counterpart without the definite-object marking is terméke (his/her/its product). Plural possessive forms include termékeik (their product) and related derivatives. The termék itself denotes a produced good or commodity, commonly used in business, manufacturing, and consumer contexts.

Etymology

Termék semantically derives from termelni (to produce) with Hungarian noun-forming suffixes, reflecting a produced item or commodity. Termékét is a specific inflected form used in sentences where possession and a definite direct object are both indicated.
