kötésük

Kötésük is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from the base noun kötés, combined with the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük. The word kötéss has several related meanings, reflecting the polysemy of kötés: it can denote a bond or connection between people, the act or product of knitting, or a medical bandage or dressing. As a possessive form, kötésük means “their bond,” “their knitting,” or “their bandage,” depending on the context.

The primary senses of kötés include:

- Bond or connection: used to describe emotional or social ties between people or groups. Example: A kötésük erős, és a közös múltjuk tartja össze a családot. (Their bond is strong, and their shared history holds the family together.)

- Knitting: referring to knitted fabric or the act of knitting. Example: A kötésük szép, érdemes megcsodálni a kézzel készített darabokat. (Their knitting is beautiful; the handmade pieces are worth admiring.)

- Medical dressing: a bandage or wound dressing. Example: A kötésük nedves lett, ki kell cserélni. (Their bandage has become damp and needs changing.)

In usage, the exact meaning of kötésük is determined by surrounding words and the subject matter. For clarity, writers often prefer explicit terms like kapcsolatok (relationships), kötés (knitting), or kötés (bandage) when needed, to avoid ambiguity.

Related terms include kötődés (attachment or binding), kapcsolat (relationship or connection), and kötés (knitting or dressing) in its own right. Kötésük thus exemplifies Hungarian polysemy, where a single form carries multiple closely related meanings.
