munkámon

Munkámon is a Hungarian grammatical form that expresses a locational relationship to the speaker’s work or tasks. It is formed from the noun munka (work) with the first-person possessive suffix -m, yielding munkám (my work), and then the locative suffix -on (with the corresponding -en or -ön forms in other stems) to produce munkámon. The result is typically translated as “on my work” or “at my work,” depending on the context. It is used when the speaker refers to a location, domain, or scope associated with their own tasks or responsibilities.

In practice, munkámon functions as part of the wider Hungarian system in which possessive forms attach to a noun and are subsequently combined with case suffixes to indicate location or relation. This means that the exact endings follow vowel harmony rules and the overall meaning shifts with the surrounding words. Common collocations show how such forms are used to express more nuanced spatial or figurative relations; for example, phrases equivalent to “inside my work” or “outside my work” can be formed with the appropriate combinations, such as munkámon belül or munkámon kívül.

Notes: munkámon is not a standalone lexical entry but a derived inflected form used within sentences. It illustrates how Hungarian layers suffixes to convey possessive and locative meaning, and it reflects the broader pattern of possessive plus locative constructions in the language.
