Védelemét

Védelemét is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun védelem, meaning protection or defense. It represents a definite possessive construction that is used when the possessor is definite and the head noun denotes protection. In practice, védelemét functions to express “its protection” or “the protection of [a definite noun],” depending on the context. The suffix -ét marks the possession as definite and is attached to the head noun within a phrase that is governed by the surrounding sentence structure.

The form is most common in formal or legal-language contexts, such as statutes, administrative acts, or policy documents, where precise assignment of protection to a particular subject, group, or entity is required. Because Hungarian uses definite possessive suffixes to indicate possessors with a definite reference, védelemét helps clarify whose protection is being discussed, avoiding ambiguity that might arise with more generic expressions.

In translation, védelemét corresponds to phrases like “its protection” or “the protection of X,” with X supplied by context. The construction is part of a broader system of possessive and case inflections in Hungarian, and its use can depend on the syntactic role of the phrase (for example, as a direct object or as part of a larger noun phrase in a legal sentence).
