Zokniját

Zokniját is a Hungarian word that translates to "his/her/its sock" or "your sock" (singular, informal) in English. The word is formed by combining "zokni," meaning "sock," with the possessive suffix "-ja," which indicates third-person singular possession (his/her/its) or second-person singular informal possession (your).

In Hungarian grammar, possessive suffixes are attached directly to the noun to denote ownership. The specific form "zokniját" implies that the sock belongs to a male, female, or an inanimate object, or it is being addressed to a single person informally. For example, one might say "Elvesztette a zokniját" meaning "He/She lost his/her sock," or "Hol van a zokniját?" meaning "Where is your sock?" (addressed to a friend or family member).

The word "zokni" itself has a common origin with similar words in other European languages related to covering the foot. The addition of the possessive suffix "-ja" is a standard grammatical feature of Hungarian, distinguishing it from languages that might use separate possessive pronouns. Understanding this grammatical structure is key to comprehending the meaning of "zokniját" in context.
