Egységre

Egységre is a Hungarian directional form created from the noun egység (unit, entity, unity) by adding the suffix -re. The resulting word egységre can mean “to the unit,” “toward the unit,” or more abstractly, “toward unity.” The suffix -re marks direction toward or reference to a referent, and is used with many nouns to indicate target or focus rather than a physical location.

In sense, egységre can refer to a concrete unit within a structure (for example, a military or organizational unit) as well as to the abstract notion of unity or oneness. This flexibility makes egységre common in both technical and political language, where speakers discuss targets, goals, or criteria relating to a specific unit or to the idea of unity.

Usage notes:

- Egységre often appears with verbs that require a target, such as törekszik (to strive toward) or vonatkozik (to pertain to). Examples include törekszik egységre (strives toward unity) and az egységre vonatkozó adatok (data pertaining to the unit).

- It can also function in noun phrases as a referential complement, as in az egységre vonatkozó követelmények (requirements related to the unit).

Examples:

- A politikai beszéd egységre törekedett. (The political speech strove toward unity.)

- Az adatok az egységre vonatkoznak. (The data pertain to the unit.)

- A terv az egységre irányuló lépéseket tartalmazza. (The plan includes steps aimed at unity.)
