Folyamatoknak

Folyamatoknak is a Hungarian grammatical form: it is the dative plural ending of the noun folyamat, which means process. The form marks the indirect object, beneficiary, or target of an action, or indicates that something is done for or in accordance with the processes. In use, folyamatoknak translates roughly as “to the processes” or “for the processes.”

In Hungarian, the dative case is formed with the suffix -nak or -nek, depending on vowel harmony. After back vowels the form is -nak, so folyamatoknak is the correct dative plural. This form appears in sentences where the processes are the recipient or the context for an action, or where one wants to express alignment with the processes, for example: "A szabályozást a folyamatoknak megfelelően hajtották végre" (The regulation was carried out in accordance with the processes), or "A projekt költségvetését a folyamatoknak megfelelően tervezték" (The project budget was planned according to the processes).

The phrase is common in technical, managerial, and academic writing, especially when discussing workflows, procedures, or systems where processes play a central role. It is a grammatical construction rather than a separate lexical entry, and can appear in various adverbial or attributive positions (folyamatoknak megfelelően, folyamatoknak szánt erőforrások).
