Entitásnak

Entitásnak is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun entitás, which translates to entity in English. The form entitásnak represents the dative case, used to indicate “to/for the entity” in a sentence. The possessive/genitive form of the same noun is entitásának, meaning “the entity’s.” Hungarian morphology thus marks both indirect object and possessive relations through distinct endings.

Entitás is a cross-disciplinary term referring to something with an independent identity. In philosophy and ontology, an entity is any being or thing that can be said to exist or be meaningfully discussed, including concrete objects (a person, a rock) and abstract concepts (numbers, ideas). Debates often focus on what constitutes identity over time, how properties are attributed, and how entities relate to one another within a broader framework of being.

In information technology and data modeling, an entity is a distinct object with a unique identity that can be described by attributes and connected to other entities through relationships. For example, a customer is an entity with attributes such as name and address, and it may be related to orders or invoices.

In Hungarian usage, entitásnak appears when the sentence requires indicating the recipient or beneficiary of an action (to the entity) or when the context specifies a relational stance involving the entity. The corresponding possessive form entitásának is used to express ownership, as in the entity’s properties.
