Görbének

Görbének is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun görbe, meaning "curve" or "bend." The suffix -nek marks a dative or, in possessive constructions, a relational link such as "the curve’s ..." In this context, görbének reflects how Hungarian inflects nouns to indicate indirect objects or to form predicative phrases such as "as a curve."

In use, görbének appears in sentences where the curve is the recipient of an action or the referent of a description, and it can also function in predicative constructions. Examples include phrases like "Ezt görbének tekintjük" (We regard this as a curve) or "a görbének a tulajdonságai" (the curve’s properties). The form illustrates Hungarian vowel harmony, as the front vowel in the stem leads to the -nek ending.

Etymology: Görbe is a native Hungarian word with long-standing presence in the language, particularly in geometry and description of shapes. The exact historical origins of the root are not universally agreed upon, but the word is well established in Hungarian vocabulary. The inflected form görbének is a standard morphological variant used to link the curve to other elements within a sentence, rather than a separate lexical item.
