Viselésük

Viselésük is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning “their wearing” or “the wearing by them.” It is formed from viselés, the noun for the act of wearing, with the possessive suffix -ük appended to the whole noun, referring to a plural antecedent established in context. As a nominalized construction, viselésük can function as a noun within clauses that discuss clothing or adornment worn by a group.

Etymology and morphology: Viselés derives from the verb viselni (to wear). The -és suffix turns the verb into an abstract noun denoting the act, and the -ük suffix is the third-person plural possessive marker, yielding viselésük, which translates roughly to “their wearing.” Orthographically, the form follows standard Hungarian spelling rules, with the possessive suffix integrated directly after viselés.

Usage: Viselésük appears mainly in formal writing, linguistic analysis, or ethnographic descriptions of clothing practices. It is not a common everyday phrase, but it can occur when summarizing or commenting on how a group wears certain garments or adornments. In discourse, it typically refers to wearing by a clearly identified plural subject rather than by individuals.

Example sentences: In Hungarian: “A viselésük hangsúlyozza a kollekció tematikáját.” (Their wearing emphasizes the theme of the collection.) Another: “A ruházatok elemzése során vizsgálták viselésük kulturális jelentőségét.” (In the analysis of the garments, they studied the cultural significance of their wearing.)
