határozórész

Határozórész is a Hungarian grammatical term referring to a possessive suffix that modifies a noun to indicate possession or belonging. It is a key component of Hungarian grammar, essential for expressing ownership and relationships between entities. These suffixes are attached to the possessed noun, not the possessor, and their form changes depending on the number and person of the possessor.

For example, in the word "házam" (my house), the suffix "-am" indicates that the house belongs to the first person singular possessor. Similarly, "házad" (your house) uses the suffix "-ad" for the second person singular possessor. When the possessor is plural, the suffixes also change, such as in "házuk" (their house). The system of határozórész is highly regular and follows predictable patterns, making it a crucial element for fluent Hungarian speakers. Understanding and correctly applying these suffixes is fundamental to constructing grammatically correct sentences and conveying precise meaning regarding possession. The határozórész system contributes significantly to the agglutinative nature of the Hungarian language.
