Tárgyeseteinek

Tárgyeseteinek is a linguistic term referring to the object cases of Hungarian, i.e., the set of cases that mark direct objects in sentences. The word itself is the genitive plural form of tárgyesetei (the object cases), and is used in scholarly or descriptive contexts to discuss the system as a whole, for example in phrases like a tárgyeseteinek használata or a tárgyeseteinek rendszere.

In Hungarian grammar, the direct object is typically marked by the accusative, known as the tárgyeset. There are different realizations of the object mark depending on definiteness: when the direct object is definite, the object noun often receives a suffix such as -t (with adjustments for vowel harmony and consonant changes, e.g., ház → házat); indefinite objects may remain unmarked. The object-marking forms interact with pronouns, adjectives, and postural elements in sentence structure, and they can be influenced by phonological factors such as vowel harmony.

The term tárgyeseteinek is primarily used in linguistic descriptions, grammar manuals, and academic discussions rather than in everyday speech. It functions as a possessive phrase in Hungarian, enabling statements about the properties, rules, or usage of the object cases as a group. For example, one might discuss tárgyeseteinek rendszerét a nyelvtanban, meaning the system of the object cases in grammar, or examine how these cases interact with definite objects in sentence construction.

Overall, tárgyeseteinek denotes the collective set of Hungarian object cases and their descriptive properties, forming a key topic in the study of Hungarian syntax and morphology.
