kollégád
Kollégád is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning “your colleague.” It is formed from the noun kolléga (colleague) plus the second-person singular possessive suffix -d, indicating that the colleague belongs to or is associated with the person being spoken to. The base word kolléga traces back to the Latin collegā, via European borrowings such as French collègue or English colleague.
In everyday Hungarian, kollégád refers to a coworker of the addressee in informal contexts. It is commonly
- A kollégád itt van? (Is your colleague here?)
- A kollégád segített a projekten. (Your colleague helped with the project.)
- Kérlek, szólj a kollégádnak, hogy hívja vissza. (Please tell your colleague to call back.)
