megállapodása

Megállapodása is a Hungarian grammatical form that functions as the possessive of the noun megállapodás, meaning "the agreement" or "an agreement." It denotes possession or association with a specific party and is typically translated as “his/her/its agreement” or, in context, as “the agreement of [someone].” In practice, the form often appears in phrases that specify whose agreement is being referred to, such as A felek megállapodása szerint, “According to the parties’ agreement.”

Etymology and structure: megállapodás is the noun for agreement/settlement, derived from the verb állapodni (to come to an agreement) with the noun-forming suffix -ás. The possessive form megállapodása adds the 3rd person singular possessive ending, allowing speakers to indicate ownership or association with a particular subject.

Usage: megállapodása is common in formal, legal, diplomatic, and business language, especially when the possessor is made explicit. It can be inflected for different possessors and numbers, for example: megállapodásom (my agreement), megállapodásod (your agreement), megállapodása (his/her/its agreement), megállapodásunk (our agreement), megállapodásuk (their agreement). The plural megállapodások means “agreements.”

Examples:

- A felek megállapodása szerint a határidőt egy hónappal meghosszabbították. (According to the parties’ agreement, the deadline was extended by one month.)

- A vállalat megállapodása a beszállítóval új feltételeket tartalmaz. (The company’s agreement with the supplier contains new terms.)
