jogát

Jogát is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun jog, which means a right or a law. It functions as the definite direct object in a sentence and conveys possession by a specific third-person subject. The form jogát combines the third-person possessive suffix -a with the definite direct-object suffix -t, producing a word that translates roughly to “his/her/its right” in the given context. Because Hungarian marks definiteness and possession directly on the noun, jogát is used when the right in question is definite and the owner is known from context.

Usage and examples illustrate its role as a definite object referring to a specific right. For instance, megvédte a jogát means “he defended his right,” where the verb acts on a clearly identified right. Elvették a jogát tőle would mean “they took his right away from him,” showing possession and a definite object simultaneously. In sentences where the owner is already established, jogát can be used without repeating the possessor.

Relationship to related terms: jog generally refers to a right or law in a broad sense, while jogát specifies a particular right owned by someone in a discourse. The form is one of several inflected variants the noun can take depending on number, possessor, and definiteness.

Notes: Jogát is a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical entry. Its precise interpretation depends on the surrounding context, particularly who owns the right and what action is described.
