érvényüket

érvényüket is a grammatical form in Hungarian that literally means “their validity” or “their force.” It uses the noun érvény, which denotes validity, enforceability, or legal effect, together with the plural possessive suffix -ük and the definite direct-object suffix -t in the usual noun phrase construction. In practice, érvényüket is used to refer to the validity or enforceability of multiple items such as documents, rules, licenses, or statuses that belong to a group.

In legal and administrative language, érvényüket is commonly employed when discussing whether several instruments or regulations remain in effect, are still applicable, or have expired. The concept it expresses is time-bound and context-dependent: validity may be granted, renewed, suspended, revoked, or allowed to lapse according to statutory rules, administrative decisions, or contractual terms. Because Hungarian distinguishes between validity (érvényesség) and general applicability (érvény), the phrase érvényüket often appears in discussions of status and enforceability across multiple objects rather than a single item.

Etymologically, érvény derives from a root meaning authority or force, and its formals—érvényes (valid), érvényesség (validity)—are related. The plural possessive érvényüket is a serviceable way to summarize the current status of several items’ enforceability in a concise, formal context.
