Bandázsnak

Bandázsnak is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun bandázs, meaning bandage. It denotes to or for the bandage, used when the bandage is the indirect object of an action. The form is created by adding the dative suffix -nak to the stem bandázs; since bandázs ends with a back vowel (á), the correct dative form is bandázsnak. The plural dative form is bandázsoknak.

Bandázs is a loanword in Hungarian, commonly attributed to Western European sources such as German or French, and ultimately related to the English word bandage. It refers to a strip of material used to wrap, protect, compress, or immobilize parts of the body, such as wounds or injuries. Bandages come in various types, including cloth, elastic, compression, and adhesive forms.

Usage notes: bandázsnak is used in contexts describing the bandage as the recipient of an action or as part of lists and procedures in medical or first-aid documentation. The term is standard in everyday Hungarian within medical, sports, and educational settings and appears in instructions, catalogs, and materials related to first aid and wound care. Plural forms follow the same pattern, with bandázsoknak serving as the dative plural.

Related terms include bandázs (the base form meaning bandage) and kötszer (a more general term for a bandage or dressing). The expression reflects typical Hungarian noun inflection and is part of medical vocabulary used in Hungary and by Hungarian speakers.
