alakjának

alakjának is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the noun alak, meaning shape or form. It is formed by attaching the possessive suffix -ja (or -e after vowel harmony) to alak to produce alakja, and then adding the dative/genitive suffix -nak/-nek, resulting in alakjának. The combination signals a possessive relationship and a grammatical case, and it is typically translated as “to its form” or more commonly as the genitive construction “the form of X.”

In use, alakjának appears in noun phrases that attribute form or shape to something, often within discussions of design, anatomy, or art. It denotes that the form being referred to belongs to or is associated with another noun. For example: A szobor alakjának megőrzése fontos. (The preservation of the statue’s form is important.) A ruhadarab alakjának meghatározása kulcsfontosságú a tervezés során. (Determining the garment’s shape is crucial in design.) Az ikon alakjának vizsgálata segíthet a történelmi stílusok értelmezésében. (Studying the icon’s shape can aid in interpreting historical styles.)

Notes on usage: alakjának is a grammatical construction, not a standalone noun, and it changes form with different possessors and cases in Hungarian. It exemplifies how Hungarian stacks suffixes to convey possession and case on a single noun stem.
