többüké

Többüké is a Hungarian term that translates to "belonging to them" or "theirs" in English. It is a possessive suffix, specifically the plural third-person possessive suffix, used to indicate ownership or association with multiple people or entities. This suffix is attached to the noun that is possessed.

For example, if the word for "house" is ház, then többüké would be added to indicate "their houses." The exact form of the suffix can vary slightly depending on the preceding sound of the noun, but the core meaning remains the same. This grammatical feature is common in agglutinative languages like Hungarian, where suffixes are added to word stems to convey grammatical information.

The use of többüké is crucial for distinguishing possession by multiple third parties from singular third-person possession or possession by other persons. Understanding and correctly applying these possessive suffixes is fundamental to constructing grammatically correct sentences in Hungarian. It allows for precise communication about who owns or is associated with a particular object or concept.
