mutatóinak

Mutatóinak is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun mutató, which can mean pointer, indicator, or index, depending on the context. It functions as the possessive plural form used with a third-person plural possessor. In practice, mutatóinak appears in noun phrases where something belongs to more than one pointer or indicator, for example a phrase translated as “the values of their pointers/indicators.” The precise meaning depends on the domain, and could refer to physical pointers on a device, graphical indicators, or pointer variables in computing, as well as metaphorical indicators in data or graphs.

Grammatically, mutató is the base noun with several inflectional possibilities. In plural, mutató can become mutatók, and the third-person plural possessive suffix attaches to form a possessive plural, yielding forms such as mutatóik. In certain syntactic contexts and cases, the form mutatóinak may appear to indicate possession by a plural subject, particularly in constructions that require a genitive-like relation between mutatók and the possessed noun that follows. This illustrates the characteristic flexibility of Hungarian noun inflection, where number, possession, and case are signaled by suffix sequences.

Usage and examples are most common in technical or formal prose. For instance: “A mutatóinak értékei továbbra is meghatározzák a program működését,” meaning “The values of their pointers (indicators) continue to determine the operation of the program.” Another example might discuss the mechanisms or behavior of the pointers in a given system: “A mutatóinak mechanizmusai a különböző rendszereknél eltérőek.” In everyday language, the exact sense of mutatóinak will rely heavily on context.
