Billentyzetnek

Billentyzetnek is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun billentyűzet, which means keyboard. The form is created by adding the dative suffix -nek to the stem billentyűzet-, and it is used to mark the indirect object of a sentence. In Hungarian, the dative case answers questions such as to whom or for whom an action is performed, and billentyűzetnek provides the recipient or beneficiary role in a clause.

Morphology and usage details: billentyűzet is a compound noun built from billentyű (key) and zet (part of the standard word for a keyboard). The dative suffix -nek (or -nak, depending on harmony) attaches to the noun to signal the indirect object. The form billentyűzetnek therefore means “to the keyboard” or “for the keyboard” and can appear in sentences with verbs that take a dative object, such as adni (to give), küldeni (to send), or mutatni (to show).

Examples and context: A billentyűzetnek adtam egy útmutatót. (I gave a manual to the keyboard.) A billentyűzetnek szóló visszajelzést vették figyelembe. (Feedback addressed to the keyboard was taken into account.) The form is primarily a grammatical case inflection rather than a stand-alone lexical item, and its occurrence is governed by the needs of sentence syntax and meaning.
