Égését

Égését is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun égés, which means burning or combustion. It functions as the definite direct object form of égés and is used to refer to the burning of a specific object or substance. In this sense, égését marks that the burning event is a definite, identifiable act affecting something previously mentioned or understood from context.

Morphology and usage

The word égését appears when the noun égés is used in a definite accusative construction, often following a noun phrase that specifies what is burning. A common pattern is to place the possessor or the object of burning before the noun, as in a phrase like a ház égését, meaning “the burning of the house.” The form is typical of formal or technical texts, such as fire incident reports, insurance documents, or forensic descriptions, where precise reference to “the burning of X” is required.

Examples

- A tűz a ház égését okozta. (The fire caused the burning of the house.)

- A vizsgálat megállapította a fa égését, amely a szerkezet súlyos károsodását eredményezte. (The examination determined the burning of the wood, which caused severe damage to the structure.)

Etymology

Égését derives from égés (burning) with the nominalizing suffix -és and the definite accusative marker -et/-ét, a standard pattern in Hungarian for refering to a specific, identifiable instance of the action described by égés.
