kapcsolatokuk

Kapcsolatokuk is a Hungarian possessive construction that translates roughly to “their relationships.” It is built from the noun kapcsolatok (relationships) together with the third-person plural possessive suffix -uk, indicating ownership by a group of people. In standard usage, the most common form for “their relationships” is kapcsolataik, where the possessive suffix attaches to the base kapcsolat and the plural form signals the set of relationships.

Linguistic notes and variants: Hungarian possessive suffixes attach to nouns to show ownership. When referring to multiple relationships held by a group, speakers typically use a form like kapcsolataik. The exact spelling can vary with vowel harmony and morphological context, and less common variants such as kapcsolatokuk may appear in nonstandard text or in specific stylistic settings. In most formal writing, kapcsolataik is preferred for “their relationships.”

Usage and meaning: The phrase covers social, professional, or institutional ties, not only romantic relationships. It can appear in sociology, journalism, history, or everyday speech when discussing how different actors—families, organizations, communities—are interconnected.

Examples:

- A család kapcsolataik erősek, és ez segíti a közös döntéshozatalt. (The family’s relationships are strong, and this aids joint decision-making.)

- A vállalat és beszállítóik kapcsolataik stabilak maradtak az átalakítás ellenére.
