Kapcsolatára

Kapcsolatára is a Hungarian inflected form built from the noun kapcsolat, which means relationship or connection. The form combines a possessive suffix and an allative suffix, illustrating how Hungarian can encode both possession and direction in a single noun phrase.

Morphology and formation: The base noun kapcsolata expresses “his/her/its relationship.” To indicate direction or application toward that possessed noun, the allative suffix -ra/-re is added, producing kapcsolatára. The result is the third-person singular possessive allative form meaning roughly “to his/her/its relationship.” In parallel, other possessors yield forms such as kapcsolatukra (to their relationship) or kapcsolatomra (to my relationship). The spelling reflects the concatenation of the possessive -a with the allative -ra.

Grammatical function: The allative case marks direction toward a noun. When combined with a possessive, kapcsolatára specifies the recipient or target of the action in relation to the possessed noun. This form is most often encountered in formal or literary Hungarian and in grammatical descriptions of case and agreement; it is less common in everyday speech, where more common constructions may be used to express similar ideas.

Usage notes: As with other allative forms, the exact suffix may vary with vowel harmony and the phonotactics of the preceding morphemes. For speakers who are not fluent in Hungarian morphology, the form can be challenging due to the layered inflection of possession plus direction.
