megélhetésének

Megélhetésének is a nyelvi form of the Hungarian noun megélhetés, which means livelihood or means of subsistence. Megélhetés refers to the way a person earns money and sustains life, including earnings, employment, and financial stability. The ending -ének marks third-person possession, so megélhetésének literally means “of his/her/its livelihood.” This form is used in sentences where the livelihood belongs to someone and is described or connected to another element by a case or postposition.

In usage, megélhetésének is common in formal, journalistic, and academic Hungarian, as well as in legal and sociological texts, when the focus is on what sustains a person or a group. The construction allows speakers to attach descriptors to the possessed noun, for example with for- or source-related nouns, such as forrása (its source) or fenntartása (its maintenance).

Examples:

- A dolgozó megélhetésének forrása a mezőgazdaság. (The source of the worker’s livelihood is agriculture.)

- A megélhetésének biztosítása érdekében új munkahelyeket teremtenek. (To secure his/her livelihood, new jobs are created.)

Notes:

Megélhetésének can appear in various syntactic contexts depending on the required case and surrounding particles. It remains a standard way to discuss the conditions that enable someone to live, especially in discussions of employment, social welfare, and subsistence.
