mellettük

Mellettük is a Hungarian postpositional form built from the base preposition mellent meaning beside or next to, combined with the 3rd-person plural possessive suffix -ük. The result is a pronominal locative form that denotes position or relation relative to a group of people. In addition to concrete spatial meaning, it can convey figurative proximity or association, such as being in the vicinity of or in the company of the referenced group.

Grammatical use and forms: Mellettük functions as a postpositional pronoun form that can connect with verbs or clauses to express location or relation with respect to the referent group. The analogous forms for other persons are mett-em (beside me), melletted (beside you), mellette (beside him/her/it), mellettünk (beside us), mellettetek (beside you all), and mellettük (beside them). The form mellétutt (mellette) is used for singular third person; the others shown cover plural reference.

Usage notes: Mellettük appears in sentences where the subject, object, or another element is described as being beside or in relation to a plurality of people. It is primarily spatial but can appear in broader, non-literal contexts depending on discourse and idiomatic usage. The word behaves as a fixed postpositional unit and often requires no additional case marking beyond the possessive suffix.
