népességét

Népességét is a Hungarian word that translates to "its population" or "their population." It is a possessive form derived from the noun "népesség," meaning "population." The suffix "-ét" indicates the third-person singular possessive, referring to something belonging to "it" or "him/her" in a singular sense. Therefore, "népességét" specifically denotes the population belonging to a particular entity, such as a country, city, region, or even a specific group.

In practice, "népességét" would be used in sentences discussing demographic data or characteristics. For example, one might encounter a sentence like "Magyarország népességét 9,7 millió főre becsülik" which translates to "Hungary's population is estimated at 9.7 million people." Here, "népességét" clearly refers to the population belonging to Hungary. Similarly, in a discussion about a specific city, "A város népességét jelentősen befolyásolta az iparosodás" would mean "The city's population was significantly influenced by industrialization." The word's grammatical function is to link the concept of population to the entity whose population is being described.
