távozását

Távozását is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun távozás (departure, withdrawal). Távozás comes from the verb távozik, meaning “to go away” or “to leave.” Távozását, formed with the possessive suffix -a/-e to indicate whose departure is being referred to, and with the definite accusative suffix -t, marks the phrase as a definite direct object. In effect, távozását means “his/her departure” or “the departure of X” when used in a sentence. It functions as a direct object in clauses describing someone leaving a position, organization, or place.

Etymology and grammar: The base is távozás; attaching the possessive suffix yields távozása (his/her departure). Adding the definite accusative suffix -t yields távozását, which is used when the speaker treats the departure as a definite, known event within the sentence. This form is common in formal or journalistic Hungarian.

Usage and nuance: Távozását is typically employed in contexts involving the departure of a person from a role or affiliation, such as politics, business, or administration. It is broader than lemondás (resignation) and can refer to various kinds of departures, not only a formal resignation. The term emphasizes the event of leaving rather than the act of resigning itself.

Examples:

- A dolgozók a vezérigazgató távozását követelték. (The workers demanded the CEO’s departure.)

- Bejelentették a miniszter távozását. (They announced the minister’s departure.)

- A küldöttség távozását követően megkezdték a tárgyalásokat. (After the delegation’s departure, negotiations began.)
