cáfolatának

Cáfolatának is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from cáfolat, meaning refutation or rebuttal, with the possessive/genitive suffix -ának. It specifically marks something that belongs to or relates to a refutation, translating roughly to "its refutation" or "the refutation of X." The base word cáfolat itself comes from the verb cáfolni, to refute or deny.

Grammatically, cáfolatákhez is not used; the standard genitive singular form is cáfolatának. This form follows the general Hungarian pattern of adding -nak/-nek to nouns and adapting to vowel harmony. In plural contexts, forms like cáfolatainak may appear, depending on what is being referred to, but singular usage is most common in ordinary prose.

Usage context and function: cáfolatának appears in formal writing, such as academic analysis, legal documents, and journalism, where a specific refutation or its supporting arguments are being discussed. It helps specify that the content under consideration pertains to the refutation of a claim rather than to the claim itself.

Examples:

- Az állítás cáfolatának részleteit ismertetik a jelentésben. (The details of the refutation of the claim are presented in the report.)

- A cáfolatának érvei között logikai ellentmondások találhatók. (Among the refutation’s arguments there are logical contradictions.)

Related terms include cáfolat (refutation), ellentmondás (contradiction), and ellenvélemény (counter-argument). cáfolatának is a standard, widely understood form in Hungarian discourse when referring to what constitutes a refutation.
