étrendje

étrendje is a Hungarian possessive form meaning “his diet” or “her diet.” It is formed from the noun étrend, which means diet or eating pattern, by adding the third-person singular possessive suffix -je. The result, étrendje, denotes ownership of the diet by a specific person and functions as a noun phrase within a sentence.

In use, étrendje appears in contexts where one refers to what a particular person eats or plans to eat. For example, az étrendje egészséges translates to “his/her diet is healthy,” and az étrendje megváltozott means “his/her diet has changed.” The form is a standard grammatical construction in Hungarian and does not encode gender; the pronoun ő signals the owner, while étrendje remains the possessed noun.

Relation to ét rend (diet) and broader grammar: étrend is the base noun, and étrendje is its definite third-person possessive form. This mirrors how Hungarian marks possession for other nouns, with different possessive suffixes for first and second person or with pronoun combinations (e.g., ő étrendje for “his/her diet” in explicit form). The term is primarily a morphological item of grammar rather than a distinct lexical concept, though it naturally appears in discussions of nutrition, health, or medical records where a specific person’s dietary plan is described.
