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 -é[edit | edit source]
The attribute expressing the possessor receives the suffix -é, 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 -é:
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]

- A lánynak van autója
