maradványai

Maradványai is a Hungarian term meaning the remnants or remains of something. It is the plural possessive form of maradvány, which denotes a remnant, fragment, or residue. The ending -ai marks possession by a third-person subject and indicates that the remnants pertain to or belong to that subject; the phrase is commonly used with a noun in a descriptive context, for example város maradványai means the remnants of the city.

The term is widely used in fields such as archaeology, history, geology, architecture, and literature. In archaeology and paleontology, maradványai refer to physical fragments left by past cultures or organisms, including walls, pottery sherds, tools, or fossil fragments. In geology and geomorphology, it can describe remnants of rock or landscape features that survive erosion or tectonic processes. In historical or literary contexts, maradványai may denote cultural or textual remnants that preserve aspects of a vanished tradition.

Examples:

- A város maradványai a feltárás során kerülnek elő. (The remnants of the city are uncovered during excavations.)

- A lelet maradványai fontos információkat szolgáltatnak a kor kultúrájáról. (The remnants of the artifact provide important information about the culture of the period.)
