ágazatuknak

Ágazatuknak is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun ágazat, meaning sector or branch. It combines the third-person plural possessive suffix -uk with the dative (to/for) ending -nak, producing a form that literally means “to/for their sector.” In other words, ágazatuknak signals both ownership (their sector) and a target or beneficiary case (to/for).

Morphology and formation

The base word is ágazat. To form ágazatuknak, the possessive suffix -uk is added to indicate “their,” yielding ágazatuk. A dative case suffix -nak (or -nek, depending on vowel harmony and phonotactics) is then attached to indicate the indirect object or beneficiary, resulting in ágazatuknak. This illustrates the general Hungarian pattern of base + possessive ending + case ending.

Usage

Ágazatuknaknak is typically used within larger phrases to specify whom a reference pertains to or for whom an action is related. It often appears with adjectives or nouns meaning “appropriate to,” “for,” or “to” a given sector. Examples:
