építménye

Építmény (plural építmények) means a built structure or construction and is used in Hungarian to refer to man-made objects such as buildings, bridges, monuments, or other permanent installations. The term encompasses a wide range of created structures, from simple shelters to large facilities, and is commonly found in architecture, engineering, and real estate contexts. The possessive form építménye translates to “his/her/its building” and is used to indicate ownership of a specific structure.

Etymology and form: építmény is derived from the verb építeni, meaning to build, with the noun-forming suffix -mény that yields a concept of the constructed thing. The word can take possessive suffixes to denote ownership, of which építménye denotes that the structure belongs to someone or something mentioned in the sentence. The form is used in neutral, descriptive prose.

Usage and scope: In everyday language, építmény refers to any built structure rather than land or property per se. In professional or legal contexts, it can denote a permanently affixed construction that is part of real property. The term is often contrasted with ingatlan (real estate) or telek (plot of land), highlighting that an építmény is the constructed object rather than the land itself. Possessive constructions like építménye help specify ownership when describing multiple structures on a site or when distinguishing between properties.

Examples: Péter építménye a telken álló családi ház. This indicates the house on the plot belonging to Peter. A cég építménye felújítást igényel. The company’s building requires renovation. Such phrases are common in property records, architectural descriptions, and planning documents.
