címkéjét

The term *címkéjét* is a Hungarian grammatical construction that translates directly to "its label" or "its tag" in English. It is formed by combining the possessive suffix *-jé*t (indicating the third-person singular possessive form) with the noun *címke*, which means "label," "tag," or "marker." This construction is used in Hungarian to refer to a label or tag belonging to a previously mentioned or understood entity.

In Hungarian grammar, suffixes like *-jé*t are attached to nouns to indicate possession or association. The suffix *-jé*t is specifically used when the noun it modifies is in the third-person singular form (e.g., *az* "the" + *ember* "person" → *az ember* "the person" → *az ember címkéjét* "the person's label"). This construction is common in sentences where the subject has already been introduced or is implied.

For example, in the sentence *"Az ember a címkéjét megváltoztatta,"* the phrase *a címkéjét* means "its label," referring to the label of the person mentioned earlier. The use of such possessive suffixes is fundamental in Hungarian, as the language relies heavily on suffixes to convey grammatical relationships rather than prepositions or word order.

This construction is not limited to physical labels but can also refer to metaphorical or digital tags, such as metadata in computing or categorization in databases. Understanding possessive suffixes like *-jé*t is essential for accurate communication in Hungarian, as they help clarify relationships between nouns and their modifiers.
