Halaknak

Halaknak is a Hungarian grammatical form that functions as the dative plural of the noun halak, meaning fish. It expresses the indirect object of a sentence, corresponding to English "to the fish" or "for the fish." The form is created by taking the plural halak (the fish) and adding the dative plural suffix nak, resulting in halaknak.

Usage and examples:

Halaknak is used with verbs that take an indirect object, such as adni (to give), beszélni (to speak to), or írni (to write to). Examples include: A halaknak adtam kenyeret. I gave bread to the fish. Beszéltem a halaknak. I spoke to the fish. A halaknak írtam levelet. I wrote a letter to the fish.

Notes:

Halaknak is a grammatical form, not a standalone noun. It only appears when referring to multiple fish and functioning as the recipient or beneficiary in the clause. In pronunciation, the stress typically falls on the first syllable of halaknak, and the overall form reflects standard Hungarian case and number marking.
