Társát

Társát is a Hungarian grammatical form of the noun társ, which means a companion, partner, or associate. The base word társ denotes a person who accompanies or collaborates with another. In Hungarian, the noun can take a possessive suffix to indicate ownership (his/her/its companion) and a separate definite object marker.

Társát specifically is the definite accusative singular form: társa (his/her companion) plus the definite object suffix -t, yielding társát. This form is used when the companion is definite and known from context, functioning as the direct object of the verb. For example: A férfi keresi a társát. The man is looking for his companion. The corresponding indefinite direct object form is társat, which is used when the companion is not specified or indefinite: Keresek társat. I am looking for a partner.

In contrast, the nominative and possessive forms illustrate related uses: társa means his/her companion in a subject or predicative position (without the definite object marker), while társ lehet part of compounds such as társaság (company), társadalom (society), and társ (colleague or partner) in broader meanings. The word can denote a wide range of relationships, from a romantic partner to a colleague or ally, depending on context.

Summary: társát is the definite direct object form of társ in the singular, used when referring to a specific, known companion within a sentence. It contrasts with the indefinite form társat, which marks an unspecified partner. The term sits within a family of related forms and compounds common in Hungarian for expressing companionship and social relationships.
