Tipusa

Tipusa is a Hungarian noun form meaning “its type” or “its kind.” It functions as the possessive form of the word típus (type) and is used to indicate the specific classification of a thing, especially when the ownership of that type is clear from context. In practice, tipusa appears most often in written or formal prose, while in everyday speech speakers may instead refer to “a típus” plus the possessive pronoun or a noun phrase to specify the kind.

The form is created by taking típus and adding the possessive suffix -a, with vowel harmony determining the exact pronunciation. This construction allows concise references to the subtype of an object or concept, particularly in technical, catalog, or comparative contexts. For example, one might say that “A készülék tipusa a gyártó által meghatározott modell” meaning “The device’s type is the model defined by the manufacturer,” or that “Az autó tipusa SUV” to designate the car’s type as SUV.

Etymology and usage notes: tipusa derives from típus, the base word for “type,” combined with the Hungarian third-person possessive suffix. While widely understood in Hungarian, tipusa is generally used when the type is being asserted as a defining attribute in relation to a specific noun.
