munkádat

Munkádat is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “your work.” It is formed from the noun munka (work) combined with the second-person possessive suffix -d to produce munkád (your work), and then the definite direct object suffix -at, yielding munkádat. The form indicates a definite object within a sentence, and it is used when referring to the work produced by the person being spoken to.

In use, munkádat appears as the direct object of a verb, with the definite object marker typically accompanying the possessive. For example, nézd meg a munkádat means “look at your work,” and elolvastam a munkádat means “I read your work.” The construction contrasts with the nominative possessive munkád, which simply means “your work” as a subject or predicate noun without a direct object reading. The definite object form helps convey specificity or emphasis on the particular work under discussion.

Notes on form and variation: Hungarian grammar distinguishes definite versus indefinite direct objects, and possessive suffixes interact with these endings. Munkádat is the standard way to render “your work” when the work is the object of the action and is definite. In other contexts, speakers may use other related forms, such as a munkád with different syntactic roles, but munkádat specifically marks a definite direct object.
