Expression of the possessor

No suffix[edit | edit source]

The complement of the name expressing the possessor does not receive any specific suffix.

Only the possessed object has the possessive third person suffix: 

  • a lány autója

the girl's car

  • a lány autói

the girl's cars

  • a lányok autója

the girls' car

  • a lányok autói

the girls' cars

suffix [edit | edit source]

The attribute expressing the possessor receives the suffix , the verb "to be" being implied.

In this case, the plural of the objects owned is marked a second time by the suffix -i added to the suffix :

1 item, 1 owner[edit | edit source]

  • Az autó a lányé.

The car belongs to the girl.

1 item, X owners[edit | edit source]

  • Az autó a lányoké.

The car belongs to the girls

X items, 1 owner[edit | edit source]

  • Az autók a lányéi.

The cars belong to the girls

X items, X owners[edit | edit source]

  • Az autók a lányokéi.

The cars belong to the girls.

Suffix -nak or -nek[edit | edit source]

The equivalent of a sentence like "The girl has a car" is in Hungarian a construction with the verb van (to be), the possessor being added the suffix -nak / -nek

  • A lánynak van autója

The girl has a car

Possessed object[edit | edit source]

See: Possessed object
