következményeinek

következményeinek is a Hungarian noun form used in possessive/genitive constructions to indicate “the consequences of.” It appears most often in formal or analytical writing when a writer wants to refer to the outcomes or effects associated with a particular subject, especially when that subject is plural or part of a larger genitive cluster. A typical usage is in phrases like a döntések következményeinek elemzése, meaning “the analysis of the consequences of the decisions.”

Etymology and structure: the base word is következmény, meaning consequence or outcome. It is formed from the verb következni, “to follow,” plus the nominalizing suffix -mény. The form that ends in -einek is used in genitive/possessive constructions, linking the consequences to another noun in a way that specifies whose or what the consequences belong to.

Usage notes: in Hungarian, this form is common in policy analysis, legal texts, academic writing, and risk assessment, where precise attribution of effects is important. It enables speakers to discuss not just the consequences themselves, but the set of consequences attributable to a particular action, decision, or policy. The surrounding nouns determine the exact sense: for example, a döntések következményeinek megértése highlights the need to understand the outcomes of decisions.
