nyugalmának

Nyugalmának is a form in Hungarian that denotes the calmness or serenity belonging to someone or something in the third person singular. It is formed from the noun nyugalom (calm, serenity) with a possessive suffix, indicating that the calmness is possessed by a third person. In usage, nyugalmának functions similarly to a possessive construction in other languages, linking a quality to its owner.

Morphology and usage

In Hungarian, nyugalmának marks possession rather than serving as a simple object. The base nyugalom means calmness, and the suffix -ának signals that the calm belongs to a third person. The phrase can appear in various noun phrases where the possessor is clear from context, often paired with related verbs or nouns to describe relationships to calmness or inner balance.

Examples

- A tanár nyugalmának megőrzése kiemelten fontos. (Preserving the teacher’s calmness is particularly important.)

- A sportoló nyugalmának megtartása a verseny alatt segített. (Maintaining the athlete’s calmness during the competition helped.)

- Nyugalmának kulcsa a jó felkészülés lehet. (The key to his/her/their calmness may be good preparation.)

Translation and nuance

In English, nyugalmának translates roughly as “his/her/its calmness” or “the calmness of [someone/thing],” depending on context. It emphasizes possession and is commonly used in formal or descriptive prose to attribute composure to a subject, especially in discussions of stress, performance, or inner balance.
