kabátom

Kabátom is a Hungarian word that translates to "my coat" in English. It is a possessive form of the word "kabát," which means coat or jacket. The suffix "-om" indicates first-person singular possession, meaning the coat belongs to the speaker. This term is commonly used in everyday conversation in Hungary to refer to one's own outerwear.

The word "kabát" itself has a debated etymology, with some theories suggesting it originates from Italian or Turkish words related to cloaks or overgarments. However, its widespread adoption into the Hungarian language has made it a staple. When someone says "kabátom," they are simply indicating ownership of a coat. This could be a winter coat, a lighter jacket, or any type of outerwear worn for warmth or protection from the elements. The grammatical structure is straightforward: "kabát" is the noun, and "-om" is the possessive suffix. This construction is typical for many nouns in Hungarian when referring to something belonging to the speaker. Therefore, "kabátom" is a fundamental and frequently used word in the Hungarian lexicon.
