jellegük

Jellegük is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning "their nature" or "their characteristics." It is formed by the noun jelleg (character, nature, attribute) combined with the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük, and it refers to the inherent properties of a plural subject, such as groups of people, animals, objects, or phenomena. The expression is inherently neutral and formal, suitable for analysis and description.

In use, jellegük typically introduces a contrast or classification: jellegük szerint translates as "by their nature," whereas jellegük van means "they have a nature." It is common in sociological, literary, or academic writing to discuss similarities and differences between entities. For individuals, jellem or személyiség is usually preferred when speaking of personality, while jelleg focuses on systemic characteristics of a set.
