Történelmét

Történelmét is a Hungarian grammatical form that translates roughly to “its history” when used as a definite direct object. It is formed from the noun történel( e ) m (history) combined with the third-person possessive suffix and the definite-object marker, yielding a single word that both marks ownership and signals that the history is a definite object of the verb.

In usage, történelmét is employed when one refers to the history of a specific entity and treats that history as the object of the action. The form helps disambiguate which history is being discussed, especially in contexts where more than one history could be relevant. It contrasts with non-definite or non-possessed forms that may appear in broader or less specific statements.

Examples illustrate its function as a definite object: "A város történelmét elemzik." (They are analyzing the city’s history.) "A szervezet történelmét tanulmányozták." (They studied the organization’s history.) These constructions show how the history is singled out as the thing being acted upon, with its ownership and definiteness built into the word.

Related terms include történel me, the base noun for “history,” and the broader concept of possessive constructions in Hungarian. The exact pronunciation and vowel harmony of történelmét reflect standard Hungarian phonological rules, with the final -t marking definiteness and the preceding suffix indicating the possessor.
