róluk

róluk is a Hungarian postpositional phrase meaning “about them.” It is formed from the postposition ról, which marks the topic as being about something, together with the third-person plural suffix -uk, yielding róluk. The form is used to indicate that the referents of the discussion, reporting, or description are a plural group.

In usage, róluk functions as a complement that follows verbs or nouns, introducing the topic of talk, writing, or thought. It answers the question “about whom?” in contexts involving more than one person or thing. It is common in both spoken and written Hungarian and can appear in various grammatical constructions, including noun phrases, clauses, and discussions about events or actions involving multiple people.

Examples:

- A könyv róluk szól. (The book is about them.)

- Beszéltek róluk? (Do you talk about them?)

- Róluk szóló hírek jelentek meg. (News about them appeared.)

The related forms include róla (about him/her) and rólunk (about us), which follow the same postpositional pattern but refer to different referents. The choice between róluk and other postpositional forms depends on the number and identity of the referenced group.

Notes:

- róluk is a standard and versatile way to specify topics involving a plural group.

- It is distinct from origin or source markers, such as tól/től, which indicate starting points rather than topics of discussion.

- In syntax, róluk introduces a topic or target of knowledge, framing subsequent information about that group.
