szemeim

Szemeim is a Hungarian phrase meaning “my eyes.” It is the first-person plural possessive form used with the plural noun szemek, which means eyes, when the speaker refers to both of their eyes. In Hungarian, possessive forms attach to nouns to indicate ownership, and szemeim is one common form for a plural possessed noun.

Formation and grammar: The basic noun szem means eye. Its plural is szemek. To express ownership by the speaker, Hungarian attaches possessive suffixes to the noun. For the speaker in the plural sense, the combination of the plural stem szemek and the possessive suffix yields szemeim. This pattern contrasts with the singular form szemem (“my eye”). Other possessive forms exist for different persons, such as szemem, szemed, and szemünk, illustrating how Hungarian marks both person and number on the noun.

Usage: Szemeim appears in ordinary speech, writing, and literature whenever the speaker refers to their own two eyes. It can serve as the subject of a sentence, as in “A szemeim fáradtak,” meaning “My eyes are tired,” or appear in phrases that denote location relative to vision, such as “A szemeim előtt” meaning “in front of my eyes.”

Related topics: Szemeim is part of the Hungarian possessive system, which inflects nouns for person and number. It is also related to the singular form szemem and to other possessive forms such as szemed, szemünk, and szemük, used for different subjects.

Summary: Szemeim is the standard Hungarian plural possessive form for “my eyes,” built from szemek with the first-person possessive suffix, and is used to refer to both eyes in various contexts.
