jelenlétüket

Jelenlétüket is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “their presence.” It is formed from the noun jelenlét (presence, existence) with the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük, and, when used as a definite direct object, the definite-object suffix -et, yielding the combined form jelenlétüket. The base noun jelenlét derives from jelen (to appear) plus the suffix -lét, which creates abstract nouns indicating states or conditions.

In use, jelenlétüket refers to the presence of a group of people or entities and is typically employed as a definite object in a sentence. This makes it common in formal or administrative language, such as meeting records, event attendance notes, or legal documents. The form highlights not only that presence exists, but also that it is the presence of a specific group.

Related forms include jelenlét (presence) in other cases and numbers, such as jelenlétünk (our presence), jelenléted (your presence), and jelenlétük (their presence, without the definite object suffix). The alternate form jelenlétüket is used when the writer wants to mark the presence as a definite object, for example after a verb that takes a definite object.

Examples:

- A szervezők megerősítették a jelenlétüket a rendezvényen. (The organizers confirmed their presence at the event.)

- Megállapították a jelenlétüket a helyszínen. (They established their presence at the scene.)
