végtagjaik

Végtagjaik is a Hungarian possessive form that means “their limbs.” It is formed from végtag, meaning limb or extremity, plus the third-person plural possessive suffix -jaik. The form is used when describing limbs belonging to multiple subjects, such as a group of people or animals. Other related forms in the same paradigm include végtagjaim (my limbs), végtagjaid (your limbs), végtagjai (his/her/its limbs), végtagjaink (our limbs), and végtagjaitok (your limbs).

In usage, végtagjaik appears in medical, anatomical, and descriptive texts as well as in narrative contexts where the limbs of several individuals or species are being referred to collectively. The word refers to limbs in a broad sense, encompassing human arms and legs as well as analogous appendages in other organisms, depending on the context. In human anatomy, limbs are commonly discussed in terms of upper limbs (arms) and lower limbs (legs); in biology and veterinary science, végtagjaik may extend to wings, fins, or other locomotive or manipulative appendages specific to a species.

The term is part of a larger set of Hungarian body-part vocabulary and illustrates how possession is marked on nouns through suffixes. Related entries include végtag (limb), kar (arm), and láb (leg).
