elképei

Elképei is a Hungarian linguistic form that can be described as the plural possessive construction used to refer to the images or representations associated with a subject within discourse. It is formed from the stem related to elképzelni (to imagine) and kép (image), with the possessive plural suffix -ei, yielding a sense akin to “its/their images.” In practice, elképei appears in literary or critical writing when analysts discuss how a character, concept, or entity is imagined or depicted across texts or media.

Usage and function textually center on imagery rather than on a concrete object. The phrase is typically part of a noun phrase, as in a critical discussion of a character’s imagined representations or a cultural artifact’s visual repertoire, rather than as a stand-alone dictionary entry. Because elképei arises from common vocabulary related to imagery and imagination, it tends to occur in analytic prose rather than everyday speech.

Etymology and related forms: the form derives from elképzelni and kép, with the suffix -ei marking possession for a plural subject. Related terms in Hungarian include elképzelés (an imagined idea or notion) and kép (image), which provide the semantic core for discussions of representation and visualization.
