szabadsága

Szabadsága is the third-person singular possessive form of the Hungarian noun szabadság, meaning freedom or liberty. It expresses that freedom belongs to or is attributed to a subject such as he, she, or it. The base noun szabadság is formed from szabad, “free,” plus the abstract-noun suffix -ság; the possessive suffix -a yields szabadsága, the standard form for “his/her/its freedom.” In Hungarian, possessive forms attach directly to the noun and reflect the possessor; other related forms include szabadságom (my freedom), szabadságod (your freedom), szabadságunk (our freedom), and so on. The word can occur with different cases and articles depending on syntactic role, for example szabadságát as the direct object “his/her/its freedom” and szabadságának in constructions indicating “to/for his/her/its freedom” or “the freedom of him/her/it.”

In usage, szabdsága appears in general discussions of liberty, legal rights, and political philosophy, as well as in biographical or historical contexts where a person’s freedom is being described. It is commonly found in both contemporary Hungarian prose and historical sources, especially in topics concerning national sovereignty and individual rights.
