erfeszítéseiket

Erfeszítéseiket is a Hungarian noun phrase that denotes the possessive plural of exertions or efforts, typically meaning “their efforts.” The standard form with diacritics is erőfeszítéseiket or erőfeszítéseik, depending on the grammatical role, and the non-diacritic variant erfeszítéseiket may appear in texts where diacritics are omitted. The base noun is erőfeszítés (exertion, effort), formed from erő (strength) and feszítés (tension, exertion). The suffixes mark third-person plural possession and, when used as a definite direct object, the corresponding object ending, yielding forms such as erőfeszítéseik/erőfeszítéseiket.

Etymology and morphology: erőfeszítés combines two roots into a single concept of strenuous effort. The possessive suffix -eik (-jeik, -aik, etc., chosen by vowel harmony) indicates “their,” and the definite direct object ending -et/-et is added in contexts where the noun is the object of the sentence, resulting in forms like erőfeszítéseiket.

Usage: The expression is relatively formal and common in reporting, official statements, or narrative passages that refer to the efforts of a group. Examples are found in sentences such as: Az erőfeszítéseiket elismerik. (They recognize their efforts.) Az erőfeszítéseiket ellenére nem érték el a célt. (Despite their efforts, they did not achieve the goal.)

Notes: In everyday writing, the diacritic form erőfeszítéseiket is standard; erfeszítéseiket appears only when diacritics are omitted. Related terms include erőfeszítés (singular), erőfeszítések (plural), törekvés, és vállalkozás.
