Tulajdonosé

Tulajdonosé is a Hungarian possessive form derived from the noun tulajdonos (owner). It functions as a determiner meaning “the owner’s” or “owner’s,” and is used to indicate that the following noun belongs to the owner. The form is part of the broader Hungarian system of possessives, where ownership can be expressed either by suffixing the possessed noun (e.g., háza = his/her/its house) or, in some constructions, by placing a possessive noun in the genitive form such as tulajdonosé before the possessed noun.

Formation and usage

The suffix -é attaches to a noun that denotes the possessor to create a possessive determiner. When tulajdonosé is used, it typically precedes the noun it governs and signals ownership of that noun by the owner in question. The possessed noun may then be used in its base form, or with its own possessive suffix, depending on stylistic choice and emphasis. The construction is common in formal or written Hungarian, especially when the possessor is explicitly named as an owner rather than a specific person’s name.

Examples

- A tulajdonosé háza a kerítés mellett áll. (The owner’s house stands next to the fence.)

- A tulajdonosé jogok védelmet élveznek. (The owner’s rights are protected.)

The use of tulajdonosé can be extended to other owner-nouns to express similar relationships, such as tulajdonosé vállalat (the company’s owner) or tulajdonosé ingatlan (the owner’s property).
