ügyeik

ügyeik is a Hungarian term meaning “their affairs” or “their matters.” It is the third-person plural possessive form of the noun ügy, which can refer to a matter, a case, or an business.

In Hungarian grammar, ügyeik is used to indicate ownership by multiple people. The form shows that the matters belong to a group. The related singular form for third person is ügye, as in “az ő ügye,” meaning “his/her/its case.”

Usage of ügyeik is common in contexts where the matters of several people or groups are being discussed—such as politics, administration, or legal matters—but it can also appear in general prose when referring to a collective’s affairs. It places emphasis on the concerns of the group rather than of an individual.

Examples:

- A kormány az ügyeik rendezését tervezi. The government plans to settle their affairs.

- Ők a saját ügyeikben döntenek. They decide in their own affairs.

- Megvitatták az ügyeik áttekintését. They discussed the review of their matters.
