elégedettségét

Elégedettségét is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from elégedettség, meaning satisfaction or contentment, with the suffix -ét that marks third-person possessive and definite direct object. The result is the phrase “his/her/its satisfaction,” used when the satisfaction belongs to a specific person or entity and is treated as a definite object in the sentence. In general, elégedettségét functions as the object of a verb or as a dependent noun in a larger nominal construction.

Etymology and morphology: The base word elégedettség comes from elégedett (satisfied) plus the abstract-noun suffix -ség, yielding the notion of state or quality. The added possessive-direct-object suffix -ét signals that the possessed state—satisfaction—belongs to a particular third-person referent and is being treated as a definite entity within the clause. This form appears primarily in written or formal Hungarian and in contexts requiring precise attribution of satisfaction to someone.

Usage: The form is common in sentences that describe someone’s feelings, reactions, or evaluations. It appears in both journalistic and literary contexts, as well as in surveys or reports that attribute a level of satisfaction to a person, group, or organization. It is suitable for discussing personal satisfaction, customer or employee satisfaction, and other contexts where the possessive and definite object nuances are important.

Examples:

- A vezető kifejezte elégedettségét. (The leader expressed his/her satisfaction.)

- A vevő elégedettségét mérik a kérdőívekkel. (They measure the customers’ satisfaction with questionnaires.)

- A dolgozó elégedettségét befolyásoló tényezők dolgozati környezetet vizsgálnak. (Factors affecting the employee’s satisfaction are studied.)
