csökkenésének

Csökkenésének is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from the base noun csökkenés, meaning decrease or reduction, combined with a possessive suffix that marks a third-person singular possessor. In practice, csökkenésének translates roughly as “its decrease” or, depending on context, “the decrease of X.” The form is used when a speaker wants to reference a specific entity whose decline is being discussed, and it commonly appears in clauses that describe rate, causes, consequences, or other aspects of decline.

In usage, csökkenésének appears in fields such as economics, statistics, demography, and meteorology, as well as in general prose. It acts to link the subject of interest to the phenomenon of decline, shaping phrases like “a készlet csökkenésének üteme” (the rate of the stock’s decrease), “a gazdaság csökkenésének következményei” (the consequences of the economy’s decline), or “az infláció csökkenésének okai” (the causes of the inflation’s decrease). The construction is flexible enough to fit various syntactic roles, typically functioning as a possessive noun phrase within larger sentences.

Linguistically, csökkenésének illustrates Hungarian’s agglutinative noun morphology: a base noun that denotes an action or state (csökkenés) is extended with possessive and case-related suffixes to indicate ownership and grammatical function. This allows precise references to changes over time and their attributes, while maintaining a concise, neutral tone suitable for encyclopedic writing.
