jelentései

Jelentései is the plural form of jelentés, a Hungarian noun meaning meaning, sense, or significance. The term is used to refer to more than one meaning of a word, phrase, or concept. In practice, jelentései can function as the possessive plural, indicating “its/their meanings,” as in a word’s range of senses, or as a plain plural noun meaning “the meanings.”

Etymology and form: The base jelentés comes from the verb jelenteni, meaning to signify or to mean, with the abstract-noun suffix -és. The plural jelentések is the standard nominative plural, while jelentései is used when the meanings are possessed by a subject (for example, a word’s meanings) or as part of a phrase indicating multiple senses.

Usage: In dictionaries, linguistic analyses, and lexicographic work, jelentései appear when listing multiple senses of a term. In general prose, speakers may refer to a word’s jelentései to emphasize the range of interpretations in a given context. For example: A szó jelentései között szerepel a metafora is. A szó jelentései különböző kontextusokban változhatnak, és időnként kultúrális információt is tükröznek. A szótárak a jelentéseit gyakran példamondatokkal és szinonimákkal egészítik ki.

Overall, jelentései denotes multiple meanings and is a common grammatical form when discussing the semantic breadth of words or expressions in Hungarian.
