példáik

Példáik is a Hungarian noun phrase that means “their examples.” It is used to refer to a set of examples belonging to a group of people or entities. The form is part of Hungarian’s system for marking possession and number on the possessed noun, and it appears in formal or written contexts when the focus is on what a group has provided or shown.

Morphology and usage notes

Példáik is formed by combining the base noun példa (example) with the plural possessive suffix used for third-person possessors, resulting in a form that signals both plural quantity and ownership. In sentences, példáik can function as a noun phrase referring to the group’s repertoire of examples, and it can participate in common constructions such as példáik közül (among their examples) or példáik alapján (based on their examples). It contrasts with példája (his/her/its example) and példájuk (their example), highlighting how Hungarian marks possession and plurality in different ways.
