Útjai

Útjai is a Hungarian word that functions as an inflected form of the noun út, which means road or path. In standard usage útja refers to a single possessor’s road, while útjai denotes the roads belonging to that same possessor in plural. In other words, útja translates roughly as “his/her/its road,” and útjai as “his/her/its roads,” with the exact meaning determined by context.

Linguistically, út is a common noun in Hungarian, and possessive forms are attached to indicate ownership. The form útjai appears when describing multiple roads owned by the same third-person possessor. The same root can appear in related constructions, such as útja for a single road or, in other contexts, metaphorical uses where út means life path or direction rather than a physical street.

Usage and examples:

- Az útja hosszú. (His/her/its road is long.)

- A város útjai jó állapotban vannak. (The city’s roads are in good condition.)

- Útjai metaforikusan is megjelenhetnek, utalva az egyén életi útjainak irányára vagy döntéseire.

Notes:

- The form útjai is context-dependent and can refer to ownership by a singular possessor while describing multiple roads.

- In Hungarian, út can be used metaphorically to mean life path or course, so útjai sometimes appears in literary or figurative language to discuss someone’s directions or choices.
