találkozását

Találkozását is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun találkozás, meaning a meeting or encounter. It denotes a definite direct object belonging to a third-person possessor, and is used in sentences where the meeting in question is specified or known.

Morphology and form: the base noun találkozás is paired with the third-person possessive suffix -a/-e to produce találkozása, meaning “his/her/its meeting.” To mark the direct object as definite, the suffix -t is added, yielding találkozását. The vowel harmony and suffix order follow standard Hungarian patterns, so the form integrates naturally with surrounding words: a találkozását, a találkozását későbbre halasztotta, etc.

Etymology: találkozás derives from the verb találkozik (to meet) with the nominal suffix -ás, forming the abstract noun “meeting.” The possessive suffix and the definite direct object suffix -t are regular inflectional devices in Hungarian, used to specify ownership and definiteness of the object.

Usage and notes: találkozását appears in contexts where the speaker refers to a specific, known meeting that acts as the direct object of the verb. It is more common in written or formal language and in sentences requiring clear definiteness or possession. In everyday speech, speakers may use the bare noun találkozás or the phrase a találkozót (definite object without the possessive form) depending on the syntactic needs.

Example: A képviselő a találkozását későbbre halasztotta. Translation: The representative postponed his/her meeting to a later date.
