kérdésük

Kérdésük is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning “their question.” It is formed from the noun kérdés (question) plus the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük, indicating that the question belongs to multiple people. As with other Hungarian possessive constructions, kérdésük functions as a unit that can be combined with articles or other modifiers, for example a kérdésük (their question) or a kérdésük megválaszolása (the answering of their question).

Etymology and morphology: kérdés derives from the verb kérdezni (to ask) and is the standard noun form meaning “a question.” The possessive suffix -ük attaches to kérdés to signal ownership by a group. The form may appear with orthographic adjustments for other cases (e.g., kérdésükre for “to their question,” kérdésüket for “their question” as a direct object), following Hungarian case endings.

Usage: Kérdésük is used in contexts where a group’s question is being discussed or referenced. It commonly appears in journalism, academic writing, and dialogue to specify ownership without repeating a pronoun. Examples include: “A kérdésük rövid volt.” (Their question was short.) “Kérdésük megválaszolására van szükség.” (There is a need to answer their question.)
