Day of Hungarian Culture

On Janurary, 22 we celebrate the Day of Hungarian Culture. On this day in 1823, Hungarian poet Ferenc Kölcsey completed his poem Hymnus, and later this poem became the anthem of Hungary. 

  • magyar kultúra = Hungarian culture
  • nap = day

Here we have a possessive structure, in which Hungarian culture is the owner and day is the property. One common way of expressing this possessive relation is using a suffix, but this suffix is attached to the property, Think of this scheme: 

  • Hungarian culture day(its), where its = "of Hungarian culture".  

This relation is expressed by the suffix -ja/je or -a/e in some cases, so the structure will look like

  • A magyar kultúra napja.
