Átjutásukat

Átjutásukat is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from the base noun átjutás (crossing, passage, or transmission) plus the possessive suffix -uk (their) and the definite object suffix -at. In this form, the phrase means “their crossing” or “their passage” and is used when the crossing of a group is being referred to as a definite object in a sentence.

Etymology and morphology: The word átjutás comes from the verb átjutni (to pass through, to get across) with the nominalizing suffix -ás. The possessive suffix -uk marks third-person plural ownership, yielding átjutásuk (their crossing). When the object is definite, Hungarian attaches the definite suffix -at to the possessed noun, producing átjutásukat. Thus the ordering is base + possessive suffix + definite suffix, and the overall form indicates that the crossing belongs to “them” and is treated as a definite object in the clause.

Usage and contexts: Átjutásukat can appear in news reporting, scientific writing, or general prose wherever a group’s crossing or transmission is the object of discussion. Common contexts include migration or border-crossing discussions, transport or transmission of substances across barriers in biology or medicine, and the transmission of signals or particles in physics or engineering. The form focuses on the crossing as a specific, identifiable event tied to a group.

Grammar notes: Átjutásukat is the definite-object form of átjutás with the third-person plural possessive suffix. It is distinct from átjutásuk (their crossing, without the definite object suffix) or from the base átjutás (the crossing in general).
