Kapcsolatokra

Kapcsolatokra is the plural dative form of the Hungarian noun kapcsolat, meaning relationship, connection, or contact. The base word kapcsolatok refers to “the relationships,” and the suffix -ra (with vowel harmony as -okra) marks the dative case, indicating the indirect object, the target of an action, or what something is directed toward. Therefore, kapcsolatokra translates roughly as “to the relationships” or “for the relationships,” depending on its syntactic role.

The form is used with verbs and expressions that require a dative complement or indicate necessity, opportunity, or involvement of relationships. Examples include phrases such as “szükség van kapcsolatokra” (there is a need for relationships/contacts) and “kapcsolatokra épül az együttműködés” (the cooperation is built on relationships). In business, diplomacy, and sociology, kapcsolatokra often appears to emphasize the importance of networks, partnerships, or social ties as a functional element of a system or process.

Etymology and morphology: kapcsolat means connection or relationship, derived from the verb kapcsolni ('to connect'). The noun forms plural as kapcsolatok, and the dative plural adds the suffix -ra to yield kapcsolatokra. This pattern illustrates Hungarian case marking, where different suffixes convey role and relation rather than fixed prepositions alone.
