kutatásait

Kutatásait is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun kutatás, meaning research or investigation. It represents the plural possessive of kutatás with the definite direct object marker, and is used when referring to multiple research works conducted by someone as the definite object of the sentence. In effect, kutatásait translates roughly to his or her researches (as a direct object).

In Hungarian, kutatás can be pluralized to kutatásai to indicate the researcher’s multiple studies. When the definite direct object is required, the suffix -t is added, yielding kutatásait for third-person singular possessive forms. This form is common in academic writing and biographical or reportage contexts, where a subject’s body of research is being discussed as the thing performed or presented.

Usage notes:

- Kutatásait is typically used to denote that the researches are being acted upon or presented in the sentence, as in publishing, presenting, or evaluating them. For example: A kutatásait a konferencián mutatta be. The phrase can also appear in contexts describing the work completed by a researcher or author, such as publishing or citing their kutatásait.

- It contrasts with kutatásai (non-definite possessive) and kutatásaittól (further inflected forms) in terms of definiteness and number of objects being referred to.
