kiadóját

Kiadó is the Hungarian noun for a publisher or publishing house. The form kiadóját is the definite accusative singular of kiadója, the possessive construction meaning “his/her/its publisher.” In Hungarian, the -t ending marks a definite direct object, so kiadóját is used when the speaker treats the publisher as a definite entity within the context of the sentence.

Form and usage details: kiadója means “his/her/its publisher.” When that publisher is the definite object of the verb, the form becomes kiadóját (a kiadóját with the definite article a or az, as in Látta a kiadóját – “He saw his publisher”). The same rule applies with other possessive subjects: az én kiadóm would be “my publisher,” while az ő kiadóját would be “his/her/its publisher” as a definite object. Kiadó can refer to a person who publishes or to a publishing company, depending on context.

Examples of use in context: Látta a kiadóját. They saw his/her/its publisher. Az ő kiadóját pereli. He/she is suing his/her/its publisher. These constructions show kiadóját functioning as a definite direct object referring to the publisher associated with a possessor.

Notes: kiadó is a common term in literary and publishing contexts, and kiadója can indicate ownership or association with a publisher. The definite form kiadóját ensures clarity when the publisher is a specific, identifiable entity in discourse.
