energiájukat

Energiájukat is the definite object form of the Hungarian noun energia meaning “their energy,” formed by combining the third-person plural possessive suffix with the definite direct-object suffix. The resulting word is energiájukat, which translates roughly to “their energy” as a definite object.

Definition and usage

Energiájukat refers to energy that belongs to a group of people or animals and is treated as a specific, identifiable quantity within a sentence. It is used when the energy in question is the direct object of the verb and is considered known or defined by the discourse. For example: A sportolók megőrizték energiájukat. This signals that the athletes’ own energy was preserved and is being treated as a particular, definite resource.

Formation notes

The form is built by attaching the possessive suffix for third-person plural to energia, yielding energiájuk, and then adding the definite direct-object suffix -t to obtain energiájukat. The possessive suffix -juk/-jük adapts to vowel harmony, so the exact spelling may vary with the stem, but energia typically yields energiájuk. The -t marks the direct object as definite in Hungarian syntax.
