munkatársai

Munkatársai is a Hungarian possessive form derived from munkatárs, meaning colleague or coworker. The word by itself is not a standalone noun; it is used to refer to the colleagues of someone, with the exact owner supplied by context. The form can indicate either a singular possessor (his/her colleague[s]) or a plural possessor (their colleagues), depending on what is stated elsewhere in the sentence. In practice, "munkatársai" translates as "his/her colleagues" or "their colleagues" in English.

The usage is common in both formal and informal Hungarian, including journalism, corporate communication, and everyday speech. It appears in phrases such as "az igazgató munkatársai" (the director's colleagues) or "a cég munkatársai" (the company's colleagues / coworkers). The term reflects Hungarian morphology in which ownership is encoded directly on the noun through possessive suffixes.

Related terms include munkatárs (colleague), munkahely (workplace), and munkavállaló (employee). The word illustrates how Hungarian forms possessive relationships and plurals within a single noun phrase, with the exact possessors clarified by context.

Examples:

- Az igazgató munkatársai részt vettek a megbeszélésen. (The director's colleagues attended the meeting.)

- A cég munkatársai között sok a tapasztalt szakember. (Among the company's colleagues there are many experienced professionals.)
