területét

Területét is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun terület, which means territory or area. It functions as a definite direct object form (accusative) that often encodes possession for a third-person owner. In practice területét is used when the territory or area belonging to someone or something is being referred to as the object of a verb, and the ownership is understood from context.

Morphologically, területét arises from terület (territory) together with the appropriate possessive and definite-object suffixes. In Hungarian, the possessive suffix can indicate ownership (for example, its/her/his), and the definite direct object suffix -t marks the object as definite. When combined, the form területét appears in sentences where the speaker refers to “its territory” or “its area” as the object of the verb.

Usage and sense can vary with context. It frequently appears in geographic, political, or legal discourse, particularly when describing a country, region, organization, or entity and what belongs to it. It also occurs in narrative or analytical prose when specifying what is being defended, allocated, or governed.

Examples:

- Ő megvédte területét. (He defended its territory.)

- A területét felosztották az ország lakói között. (Its territory was divided among the country’s inhabitants.)

- Az ország területét exportáló gazdasági programoket tárgyalják. (They are negotiating economic programs affecting the country’s territory.)
