jövedelmét

Jövedelem is a Hungarian noun meaning income, earnings, or revenue. It is used in economics, taxation, and everyday language to refer to money received from work (wages or salary), as well as other sources such as profits, rents, or interest. The term covers a broad sense of monetary gain over a period, and it is frequently encountered in financial reporting, tax documentation, and discussions of living standards or economic wellbeing. Related terms include bér (wages) and kereset (earnings), which are more specific to employment income or earnings from work, while jövedelem can denote a wider range of monetary gains.

Jövedelmét is a specific inflected form of the noun jövedelem. It represents the third-person singular possessive with a definite object suffix, used when the income belongs to a definite person or entity and is the object of the verb. In practice, it translates roughly to “his/her/its income” when the noun is the definite object of a sentence. For example: Az adóhatóság megvizsgálja az adózók jövedelmét. (“The tax authority examines the taxpayers’ income.”) This form contrasts with jövedelme, which would be used in other grammatical roles (such as a subject or indefinite reference) without the definite-object suffix.

Usage and scope: In Hungarian financial and legal language, jövedelem appears in discussions of taxation (jövedelemadó), social benefits, and wage policies. It is a neutral, widely understood term suitable for formal and informal contexts alike. The word highlights monetary gain rather than assets or capital, and its precise meaning is shaped by context, such as time frame (monthly, yearly) and source (employment, business, investments).
