profilját

Profilját is a Hungarian grammatical form of the noun profil (profile). It represents the definite direct object form with a third-person possessive suffix, meaning “his profile” or “her profile” when the profile in question is definite and known in the context. The form is built by taking profil, adding the third-person possessive suffix ja to yield profilja, and then adding the definite direct-object ending -t to obtain profilját.

Morphology and construction: profil + ja gives profilja, and attaching the definite-object suffix -t yields profilját. The overall form signals that the speaker and listener both refer to a specific, identifiable profile belonging to someone.

Usage and examples: profilját appears as the direct object of a verb when referring to a definite profile. Examples include: Megnézte a profilját. (He/she looked at his/her profile.) Közzétette a profilját a közösségi oldalon. (They posted his/her profile on the social network.) Áttekintette a profilját, mielőtt reagált volna. (They reviewed his/her profile before reacting.) In these cases the object is definite, which justifies the -t ending.

Relation to other forms: profiljára, profilját is distinct from profilja without the definite-object ending. profilja can function as a subject or indefinite object depending on context, while profilját specifically marks a definite direct object.

Etymology and usage context: Profil is a loanword used in Hungarian to refer to a person’s online or formal profile, as well as in broader contexts like morphology or description of outlines. The possessive suffix -ja and the definite-object ending -t are standard features of Hungarian grammar, producing profilját in the appropriate contexts.
