alkalmazottait

Alkalmazottait is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun alkalmazott, meaning employee. It is used to refer to employees belonging to someone in the definite accusative plural, typically functioning as the direct object of a sentence. In English it corresponds to “their employees” or “your employees” when the possessor is explicit in context.

Morphology and usage: alkalmazottait combines a third-person plural possessive ending with the definite direct object marker. The possessive suffix signals ownership (they, or another defined possessor in the discourse), while the definite accusative ending marks the phrase as a definite, plural direct object. This form is encountered in formal or written Hungarian when clarity about who the employees belong to is required.

Examples: Látom az alkalmazottait. This means “I see their employees” (or “I see your employees” depending on context). The form contrasts with annak alkalmazottai (their employees as a subject or predicate) and with alkalmazottaitok or alkalmazottaink, which express other possessors such as “your employees” (plural you) and “our employees,” respectively.

Related forms: The base noun alkalmazott can take various possessive and case endings, yielding forms such as alkalmazottaik (their employees in the nominative) or alkalmazottaink (our employees). The Hungarian system uses suffixes to encode possession, number, case, and definiteness within a single word.
