tengelye

Tengelye is the Hungarian possessive form of the noun tengely, meaning axis or axle. The base word tengely refers to the line about which an object rotates or to a structural axle in machinery. The suffix -e marks third-person possession, so tengelye translates roughly as “its axis” or “the axis of.”

In usage, tengelye appears in phrases describing an axis belonging to another noun. For example, az autó tengelye means “the car’s axle,” and a forgás tengelye means “the axis of rotation.” The form is common in technical and mechanical contexts, where precise ownership is relevant in descriptions of components and mechanisms.

Etymology and morphology: tengelye is formed by combining tengely with the possessive suffix -e, a pattern used to express ownership in Hungarian. The exact suffix can vary with person and number in other forms, but tengelye specifically signals a third-person possessive relationship.

Overall, tengelye functions as a standard grammatical construction in Hungarian to designate the axis belonging to something, most often encountered in technical writing and everyday descriptions of machines and mechanisms. See also tengely (axis) for related concepts and terminology.
