Summary/Abstract: The attention on the Moldavian Csangos dialect dates back to the 19thcentury. The regular linguistic researches show that the Csango communities have preserved the archaic Hungarian dialect, rich in medieval elements. Recently, a number of Hungarian, Romanian, and foreign researchers have engaged in the issues of Hungarian language in Moldavia, so the published literature is very diverse and rich. The present paper focuses on the possessive adjective structures, which are manifested in the Moldavian Csango language. I analyse the general possessive adjective structures, their word orders, notations, meanings, and possessive-like locutions. The data was compiled from my own fieldwork and from the articles to be found at the Babeş-Bolyai University, Faculty of Letters, Department of Hungarian and General Linguistics.
