fényét

Fényét is a Hungarian noun form that means “its light” or “the light of it.” It is used to refer to the light belonging to or emitted by a subject that has already been mentioned, with the light functioning as the definite direct object of the sentence.

Morphology and usage. The base noun is fény, meaning light. In contexts where the light is definite and linked to a third-person possessor, Hungarian forms a compound ending that yields fényét. This form marks both possession (third person) and definiteness, so it typically appears with verbs of perception or illumination, for example in sentences like Látom a fényét, “I see its light.” Fényét contrasts with other possessive forms of fény such as fényem (my light) or fényed (your light), which are used in different syntactic or stylistic contexts.

Etymology and related forms. Fényét derives from fény with the addition of a suffixal sequence used to express the combination of ownership and a definite object. Related forms include fény (light) and fényét’s close relatives in phrases where the ownership or the source of light is emphasized in other grammatical moods or tenses. The term commonly appears in Hungarian prose and poetry whenever an author wants to highlight the light produced by or belonging to a subject.
