modelljét

Modelljét is a Hungarian grammatical form used to mark the definite direct object when the possessed noun is modell (model) and the possessor is third person singular (he/she/it). It is formed by attaching the possessive suffix -je to modell and then adding the definite direct-object suffix -t, with assimilation producing modelljét. The result is a single word meaning “his/her/its model” in contexts where the model is a definite object of the verb.

Usage of modelljét occurs in transitive clauses where the speaker refers to a specific, identifiable model belonging to someone or something. Example: Megmutatom a modelljét (I will show his/her/its model). Another example: Láttam a modelljét a kiállításon (I saw his/her/its model at the exhibition).

Notes: The form exemplifies a standard principle of Hungarian morphology: possession and definiteness interact in constructing the object of a sentence. The base noun modell remains unchanged; the possessive suffix -je and the definite object suffix -t attach in sequence, with the -j- linking to -t to yield -jét.

Origin: modell is a loanword in Hungarian from Modell (German) or model (English). The suffixes -je and -t are regular Hungarian inflectional elements used for third-person possession and definite direct objects, respectively.
