némelyiküké

"Némelyiküké" is a Hungarian possessive suffix that indicates possession for a plural, indefinite subject. It translates roughly to "some of them are theirs" or "belonging to some of them." The suffix is formed by combining the indefinite pronoun "némelyik" (some) with the possessive suffix "-ük" (their) and the definite possessive suffix "-é" (theirs).

This grammatical construction is used to express that a particular item or attribute belongs to a subset of a larger group, where the specific members of that subset are not explicitly identified. For example, in a sentence like "A labda némelyiküké volt," it means "The ball belonged to some of them," implying that not all members of the group owned the ball, but a portion of them did. The context usually clarifies which group is being referred to.

"Némelyiküké" is a relatively uncommon but grammatically correct form in Hungarian. Its usage is limited to specific contexts where the indefinite nature of the possessor is emphasized. It is distinct from "néhányuké," which also refers to some of them, but "néhányuké" implies a more quantifiable or definite number of individuals within the group. The subtle difference lies in the degree of indefiniteness.
