kontrollját

Kontroll is a Hungarian loanword used to denote oversight, inspection, regulation, or quality control. It appears in many contexts—from business and engineering to law and sport—where it refers to processes that ensure standards are met or operations stay within prescribed limits. The form kontrollját is the third-person singular possessive form of kontroll combined with the definite direct-object suffix -t, meaning “its/his/her control” as a definite object.

Grammatical note: The possessive suffix for third person is typically -ja/-je, depending on vowel harmony. For a word ending in a consonant like kontroll, the possessive suffix is usually -ja, giving kontrollja, and when the definite object suffix -t is added, the result is kontrollját (for example: A szervezet fenntartja a kontrollját).

Etymology: Kontroll derives from the German Kontrolle, adopted into Hungarian technical and administrative vocabulary. It gained wide usage in the 19th and 20th centuries and remains common in contemporary Hungarian.

Usage: In contrast to ellenőrzés, kontroll often emphasizes ongoing oversight, governance, or compliance with standards. It can form compounds such as minőségkontroll or belső kontroll. The possessive form kontrollját is used when referring to a specific, definite control belonging to a subject and functioning as the object of a verb.
