firmám

firmám is a Hungarian noun form referring to ownership of a business, specifically the first-person singular possessive of firma. The base word firma is a loanword from German (Firma) and is commonly used in Hungarian to denote a company or business entity. In everyday language, cég is the more neutral term, while firma can carry connotations of a registered business or a brand name, often in more formal or professional contexts.

Usage and nuance: firmám expresses “my firm.” It is used when talking about one’s own company. The phrase can appear as a subject or object in a sentence, and the definite article is used with the possessive form, e.g., Ez a firmám vagyok? or A firmám az IT-szektorban tevékenykedik. For listeners or readers, firma may imply a specific, identifiable business, whereas cégem is more general.

Morphology: The possessive suffix -m marks the speaker’s ownership, yielding firmám (my firm). For plural ownership, the form is firmáim (my firms). Correct usage aligns with standard Hungarian grammar on definite-article construction and noun inflection.

Examples:

- A firmám az IT-szektorban tevékenykedik.

- A firmám új irodát nyit az év végéig.

- A firmáim közül az egyik Budapesten található.
