| + | It applies e.g. to possessive pronouns and it can be different from their grammatical number, which is governed by agreement with the modified (possessed) noun phrase. Czech example: //můj pes// "my dog" (grammatical singular, possessor singular), //mí psi// "my dogs" (grammatical plural, possessor singular), //náš pes// "our dog" (grammatical singular, possessor plural), //naši psi// "our dogs" (grammatical plural, possessor plural). | ||

| + | In Hungarian, possession can be marked on the possessor or on the possessed. It is possible, though rare, that a noun has three distinct number features: its own grammatical number, number of its possessor and number of its possession. Examples from the Multext-East Hungarian lexicon: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * könnyedén (SSS) | ||
| + | * könny = a tear (singular) | ||
| + | * könnyed = your tear (singular owner) | ||
| + | * könnyedé = (possession) of your tear (singular possession) | ||
| + | * könnyedén = (on the possession) of your tear (superessive case) | ||
| + | * ellenfeleié (PSS) | ||
| + | * ellenfél = an opponent (singular) | ||
| + | * ellenfele = his/her/its opponent (singular owner) | ||
| + | * ellenfelei = his/her/its opponents (core plural, singular owner) | ||
| + | * ellenfeleié = (possession) of his/her/its opponents (singular possession) | ||
| + | * életeké (SPS) | ||
| + | * él = point (singular) | ||
| + | * élek = points (plural) | ||
| + | * élén = his/her/its point (singular owner) | ||
| + | * élünk = our point (plural owner) | ||
| + | * életeké = (possession) of our point (singular possession) | ||
| + | * tárgyalópartnereinkét (PPS) | ||
| + | * tárgyalópartner = negotiator (singular) | ||
| + | * tárgyalópartnerei = his/her/its negotiators (plural, singular owner) | ||
| + | * tárgyalópartnereinkét = (possession) of our negotiators (plural, plural owner, singular possession, accusative case) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Words marked for plural possessions are very rare, though. Note that in the following example from Multext-East, | ||
| + | * Kolumbuszéinál | ||
| + | * Kolumbusz = Columbus (singular) | ||
| + | * Kolumbuszéi = (possessions) of Columbus (plural possession) | ||
| + | * Kolumbuszéinál = (at the possessions) of Columbus (adessive case) | ||
