tríója

Tríója is the Hungarian possessive form of tríó, meaning the trio's or his/her/its trio. It is formed by adding the third-person possessive suffix -ja to the noun tríó, with a linking j between the stem and the suffix. This pattern follows standard Hungarian possessive construction for nouns ending in vowels.

Orthography and pronunciation: The form is written tríója and is pronounced roughly as "tree-oh-ya," with the j sounded like the y in yes. The suffix -ja is chosen here because the stem ends in a back vowel (ó); Hungarian possessive suffixes alternate as -ja or -je according to vowel harmony.

Usage: Tríója denotes ownership of a trio, typically a group of three performers or musicians. For example, A zenekar tríója az új albumon szerepel means “The band's trio appears on the new album.” Another example: A művész tríója a kamarazenekari projekten dolgozik translates to “The artist's trio is working on the chamber music project.”

Relation to tríó: Tríó, the base noun for a group of three, is a loanword adapted into Hungarian from international sources (often Italian or French). The possessive tríója is one of several inflected forms used to indicate possession, consistent with Hungarian noun morphology.
