érésük

Érésük is a Hungarian noun formed from érés (ripening) with the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük, producing a phrase that means “their ripening.” It functions as a nominal unit and can act as the subject or object in a sentence. The form is commonly used when referring to the ripening of several items within a group.

The term is most frequent in agricultural, botanical, and biological contexts, where it describes the maturation stage of fruits, vegetables, grains, or other crops that belong to a collective. It can also appear when comparing ripening times across varieties or seasons. In sentences, érésük is often accompanied by modifiers or prepositional phrases such as fázisában (in their ripening phase) or idejét (their ripening time).

Examples of usage include: "A gyümölcsök érésük fázisában vannak." (The fruits are in the phase of their ripening.) "A különböző fajták érésük idejét összehasonlították." (They compared the ripening times of the different varieties.) These constructions illustrate how érésük functions to attribute ripening to a plural set of items.

Etymology and morphology: érés comes from the verb érni (to ripen, to mature) with the nominalizing suffix -és, and a possessive suffix -ük marks ownership by a plural subject. The form is productive in descriptive text about growth, development, or maturation processes involving multiple entities. See also érés, érési idő, és a hozzátartozó birtokos jelzős szerkezetek.
