vezetését

Vezetését is a definite accusative form of the Hungarian noun vezetés, which has several related meanings. The most common senses are leadership or management of an organization, and the act of driving or piloting a vehicle in certain contexts. The form vezetését indicates a definite object and translates roughly as “its leadership” or “the driving of it,” depending on the sense of vezetés in the sentence.

Morphology and usage notes: vezetés originates from the verb vezetni (to lead, to drive) and the suffix -és that forms a noun meaning the act or result of the action. The suffix -ét marks the definite accusative singular, used when the referent is definite or when the noun functions as the direct object in a sentence. In Hungarian, verwenden ezt a formot gyakran használják olyan mondatokban, ahol a vezetés vagy annak tulajdona egyértelműen ismert vagy korábban említett.

Contexts and meaning range: The term primarily appears in business and organizational language to refer to the leadership or management of a body, company, or institution. It can also appear in phrases describing the driving or operation of a vehicle, though in everyday language a simple vezetés is more common for that sense. The genitive-like possessive feel is conveyed by the definite object suffix, as in phrases where the leadership of a particular entity is being discussed.

Examples: A vállalat vezetését érintő döntéseket júniusban hozták meg. A vezetését felügyelő bizottság döntése alapján új vezérigazgatót neveztek ki. These illustrate how the form links to decisions affecting leadership and to entities that oversee or determine leadership.
