technikáinak

Technikáinak is a Hungarian inflected form used to express possession by a plural subject with the noun technika (technique) in its plural context. It conveys the sense of “their techniques” or “of their techniques,” and is typically found in written Hungarian, especially in technical, academic, or formal prose.

Formation and morphology

Technikáinak is built from the plural noun technikák (techniques) and a third-person plural possessive suffix that marks ownership by a group. Like other Hungarian possessive forms, the exact suffix harmonizes with vowel sounds in the word and the surrounding phonology. The result is a single word that combines plurality, possession, and the noun’s base meaning.

Usage

The form is used when describing techniques owned or used by a group or those referred to as a collective subject. It often appears in sentences that discuss reviews, evaluations, or analyses of a group’s methods. For example, a sentence might read: “A csoport technikáinak áttekintése kulcsfontosságú a projekt értékeléséhez,” which translates to “Reviewing the group’s techniques is key to evaluating the project.” Another example is “Megérteni technikáinak hatását lehetővé teszi a módszertani fejlesztéseket,” meaning “Understanding the impact of their techniques enables methodological improvements.”

Notes

Hungarian possesses several possessive forms that reflect person and number; the form chosen depends on the possessor and phonological harmony. Technikáinak is one example of how possession and plurality can be encoded within a single noun phrase in formal Hungarian.
