küldetését

Küldetését is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from küldetés, meaning mission or assignment. It denotes the definite direct object of a verb in a sentence when the owner of the mission is specified in the third person singular. In effect, küldetését corresponds to “his/her/its mission” used as a definite object.

Morphology and formation: küldetését is built by attaching a possessive suffix for the third person to küldetés, yielding küldetésé, and then adding the definite-object suffix -t, producing küldetését. This combination signals that the mission belongs to someone and is the specific object of the action. Example usages include: “A kém végrehajtotta a küldetését.” (“The spy carried out his mission.”) and “A csapat megmutatta a küldetését a felügyelőnek.” (“The team showed its mission to the supervisor.”)

Usage notes: The form contrasts with küldetést, which can be used for a mission as a definite object without indicating ownership. Küldetését is common in formal or written contexts and when the possessive relationship is relevant to the meaning, such as emphasizing that the mission belongs to a particular person or entity. The form is one instance of Hungarian’s system of definite object and possessive suffixes, and it may appear in both narrative and technical texts.

Etymology and related forms: küldetés originates from the verb küld (to send) with the nominalizing suffix -és. The full form küldetését combines the third-person possessive suffix -é with the definite-object suffix -t. Related forms include küldetés (the mission) and küldetést (the mission as a definite object without possessive). See also Hungarian grammar and definite-object suffixes.
