Usage notes
[edit]

It is one of the few cases in Hungarian orthography when the deletion of the possessive suffix does not entail writing the resulting phrase in solid (in one word, as a compound) as a result of elision, as opposed to the regular case when e.g. the deletion of -e in [az] ablak üvege ([the] pane of [the] window) results in ablaküveg (windowpane).[1] These exceptions involve the adjective-forming suffix -i and they include (belseje →) belseji, (eleje →) eleji, (kora →) kori (or regular korabeli), (vége →) végi, as well as geographical adjectives like (alja →) alji, (foka →) foki, (környéke →) környéki, (köze →) közi, (melléke →) melléki, (mente →) menti, (szöge →) szögi, and (vidéke →) vidéki.[2] Other similar constructions include (napja →) napi (anyák/​háromkirályok/​halottak napi), (tere →) téri (e.g. Örs vezér, Rózsák, Hősök téri/terei, the latter form being ambiguous, possibly referring to multiple possessions), and (útja →) úti (e.g. Királyok úti). Most of these words may also have a meaning without an implicit possessive sense.
