magjának

Magjának is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning “its seed” or “the seed of it.” It is formed from the noun mag, meaning seed or kernel, or from magja, the possessed form meaning “its seed,” with the third-person possessive suffix -ja and an additional case suffix such as -nak/-nek. The result magjának expresses a genitive or indirect-object relationship, depending on sentence structure, and can be translated as “of its seed” or “to its seed.”

In usage, magjának typically appears to attribute something to the seed belonging to something else. For example, in a sentence like “A növény magjának felhasználása fontos” the phrase means “the use of the plant’s seed is important.” In a figurative sense, the root magja can also convey core or essence, and related forms appear in contexts discussing the essential part of a subject; for instance, “valaminek a magjának megértése” can be rendered as “understanding the core of something.”

Morphological notes help to distinguish forms: mag (seed) yields magja (its seed), and attaching -nak/-nek to the possessed form yields magjának, which marks a genitive or indirect relationship to the seed. This construction is common in agricultural, botanical, and literary Hungarian when specifying possession and dependency, and it can also serve metaphorical purposes to refer to the central part or essence of a topic.
