hosszabbítását

The term *hosszabbítását* is a Hungarian verb phrase that translates to "its extension" or "its prolongation" in English. It is the third-person singular possessive form of the verb *hosszabbít* (to extend, prolong) combined with the definite article *a* and the suffix *-t/-at* indicating the direct object. This construction is commonly used in Hungarian to refer to the act of extending something, often in contexts such as time, space, or duration.

In Hungarian grammar, verbs like *hosszabbít* are transitive, meaning they require a direct object to complete their meaning. The phrase *hosszabbítását* specifically denotes that the subject of the sentence is undergoing or has undergone an extension. For example, it might appear in sentences discussing the extension of deadlines, contracts, or even infrastructure projects.

The verb *hosszabbít* itself is derived from the noun *hossz* (length, duration), reflecting its core meaning of making something longer. It is part of a broader set of verbs in Hungarian that modify temporal or spatial attributes, such as *rövidít* (shorten) or *kiterjeszt* (expand). The use of possessive forms like *hosszabbítását* helps clarify which specific entity is being extended within a given sentence.

This construction is widely used in both written and spoken Hungarian, particularly in formal contexts such as legal documents, business communications, or technical descriptions. Its precise meaning depends on the broader sentence structure and context, but it consistently conveys the idea of an intentional or deliberate extension.
