birtokosi

Birtokosi is a Hungarian adjective meaning pertaining to possession or ownership. It is formed from the noun birtok, meaning possession or property, with the adjectival suffix -osi, which yields a modifier that denotes relation to the base noun. The term is typically used to describe relationships, rights, or properties connected to an owner, rather than to denote a person who owns something. In legal, administrative, and ethnographic writing, phrases such as birtokosi viszony (ownership relationship) or birtokosi jogok (ownership rights) may appear, though exact collocations depend on context and author preference. The related noun birtokos means owner or possessor, while birtokosi functions as a descriptive modifier rather than a stand-alone noun. In ordinary prose, birtokosi is usually lowercase unless it begins a sentence or is used in a proper noun context. Etymology: from birtok (“possession, property”) plus the suffix -osi, a productive Hungarian pattern for forming adjectives meaning “pertaining to” or “related to” the base noun. The term has no widely recognized meaning beyond its linguistic uses and is not widely used as a place name or personal name. See also: birtokos, birtok, possessive forms in Hungarian grammar.
