Keresletre

Keresletre is the inflected form of the Hungarian noun kereslet, meaning demand, used when the noun functions in a location- or target-oriented sense in a sentence. The form is created by adding the suffix -re to the stem kereslet and is treated as a case form rather than a separate word. In economic and business contexts, keresletre most often appears to indicate that an action or reaction is directed toward or in response to demand.

In usage, keresletre commonly occurs with verbs that govern a recipient or object of reaction, such as reagálni (to react to) or válaszolni (to respond to). For example, A vállalat reagált a keresletre (The company reacted to the demand). Similarly, a sentence like A piac a keresletre reagált would convey that the market responded to the demand. The form thus signals what the action is addressing or responding to, rather than a mere noun phrase.

Grammatically, keresletre is a non-prepositional complement produced by a case ending, enabling direct linkage to verbs of response, adaptation, or influence without an explicit preposition. It reflects Hungarian’s flexible use of suffixal case marking to express direction or reference within a clause.

Etymology and related terms: keresletre is derived from the base noun kereslet (demand) plus the locative/target suffix -re. Related economic terms include kereslet (demand) and kínálat (supply), as well as phrases formed with other -re forms to indicate related directional or responsive meanings.
