Indoklásra

Indoklásra is a Hungarian linguistic form derived from the noun indoklás, meaning justification or explanation. The suffix -ra marks purpose or direction, so indoklásra translates roughly as “for justification” or “for the purpose of the justification.” It is used to indicate that something is intended to serve as or relate to a justification, often in administrative, legal, or academic contexts.

Etymology and form: The word combines indoklás with the case suffix -ra, a productive Hungarian marker used to express purpose, direction, or target. As a result, indoklásra is not a separate lexical item with a fixed meaning, but a morphological form of indoklás tailored to indicate that the justification is the focus or objective.

Usage: Indoklásra appears in phrases where justification or supporting reasoning is in view. Common uses include references to time, documents, or procedures allocated for providing justification. Examples include: “Az indoklásra szánt időt meghosszabbították” (They extended the time allocated for the justification) and “A pályázat indoklására részletes leírást kérnek” (A detailed description is requested for the justification of the application). In legal or bureaucratic writing, it may link to sections, forms, or requests that require furnishing justification.

Relation to related terms: The base noun indoklás denotes the act or result of providing justification, while indoklásra specifies the purpose or target of that justification. Related terms include indokolás (reason, justification more generally) and other forms derived from indoklás.
