fölöttünk

"Fölöttünk" is a Hungarian word that translates to "above us" or "over us" in English. It is a prepositional phrase used to indicate a position or direction that is higher than the speaker or a reference point. The word is composed of "fölött" which means "above" and the possessive suffix "-ünk" which means "our". Therefore, "fölöttünk" literally translates to "above our".

This phrase can be used in various contexts. In a physical sense, it might describe the sky above us, birds flying over us, or a ceiling over our heads. For example, "Az ég fölöttünk van" means "The sky is above us". It can also be used figuratively to denote something that is superior or watching over us, such as a deity or a higher power. In some instances, it might refer to something impending or looming, like a threat or a responsibility.

The grammatical function of "fölöttünk" is primarily that of an adverbial phrase of place, indicating location. It can also function as a prepositional phrase, governing a noun or pronoun that follows it, though this is less common in everyday usage. The plural form, "fölöttetek" (above you plural) and "fölöttük" (above them) exist, as does the singular "fölötted" (above you singular) and "fölötte" (above him/her/it). Understanding "fölöttünk" provides insight into how spatial relationships are expressed in the Hungarian language.
