színük

Színük is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning “their color.” It is formed from the noun szín (color) plus the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük, and it denotes the color belonging to a group of people or objects. The form színük can function as part of a subject-predicate construction or as a predicate complement, describing what color belongs to the group.

Színük is used when talking about a single color associated with a group. If the reference concerns multiple colors belonging to the group, the plural form színeik is usually used instead (their colors).

Examples of use include:

- A zászló színük kék. (The color of their flag is blue.)

- A csapat színük kék. (The team's color is blue.)

- Megváltoztatták a színüket. (They changed their color.)

In contrast to színük, the plural színeik refers to the set of colors owned by the group, as in A zászlóik színe piros és fehér. The word színük may also appear in contexts describing appearance, branding, or identification where color is a property of a collective.

Etymology and related forms: színük is formed from szín plus the 3rd-person plural possessive suffix -ük. Related terms include szín (color) and színeik (their colors). See also: szín, birtokos jelzők (possessive determiners), nyelvtan.
