Ereknek

Ereknek is a Hungarian grammatical form rather than a standalone word. It represents the dative plural of ér, the noun meaning vein or blood vessel, and can be translated as “to the veins.” In Hungarian, ér has the plural erek, and the dative plural suffix -nek attaches to the plural stem to yield ereknek. This form is primarily encountered in anatomical or medical contexts.

As a case form, ereknek signals the indirect object of an action—essentially, to whom or for whom something is done—when the veins are the recipient or beneficiary in a sentence. Because it is a specialized inflection, ereknek is not common in everyday language and is most likely to appear in technical descriptions, medical texts, or anatomical discussions.

Example: Az orvos az ereknek adott gyógyszert. This translates to “The doctor gave medicine to the veins.”

Notes: Ereknek changes with related grammatical constructions (such as definite or possessive forms) and is generally restricted to contexts involving anatomy or physiology. It is not a free-standing lexical item with its own independent meaning beyond its grammatical function.
