barátod

Barátod is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning "your male friend" and, in casual speech, can also refer to a boyfriend depending on context. It is the second-person singular possessive form of barát (friend), formed by attaching the suffix -od to the noun. The phrase denotes something that belongs to the person being spoken to.

Related forms illustrate how possession changes with person and number. barátom means "my friend," barátja means "his/her friend," and barátaitok means "your (plural) friends." The feminine equivalent is barátnő, with possessive forms such as barátnőd meaning "your female friend" or "your girlfriend." In ordinary conversation, barátod is used for a male friend, while barátnőd is used for a female friend or girlfriend.

Usage notes: barátod is common in informal contexts and everyday speech. In more formal writing or when the relationship needs explicit labeling, speakers may prefer other constructions or explicit terms (for example, distinguishing between a platonic friend and a romantic partner). In Czech or Slovak borrowings or in more formal Hungarian, different phrasing might be chosen.

Examples: "Ez a barátod jött?" ("Is this your friend [male]?") and "A barátodat hívom vacsorára." ("I am calling your friend over for dinner.") These illustrate how barátod functions as a possessive noun phrase in sentences.
