Keveréke

Keveréke is a Hungarian noun form that functions as the possessive construction of keverék, meaning a mixture or blend. In usage, keveréke can be translated as “its mixture” or “the mixture of [X],” depending on the context. The form is commonly found in descriptions of blends in cooking, chemistry, mineralogy, pharmacology, and related fields, where the components and their proportions define the resulting mixture.

Etymology and morphology: The base word keverék derives from the verb keverni, “to mix,” with the noun-forming suffix -ék. The associated form keveréke illustrates how Hungarian uses possessive or genitive-like constructions with nouns to indicate the mixture of a particular substance or group of substances. In phrases such as X keveréke, the head noun X denotes the elements included in the blend, and keveréke refers to the resulting mixture.

Usage and nuances: Keveréke is typically found in descriptive or technical sentences. It points to a specific blend rather than to the single substance itself. For example, it can be used to specify the composition of a prepared product (the mixture of ingredients) or to indicate the mixture belonging to or produced by a given item (the mixture of X). While keverék is the general term for “mixture,” keveréke emphasizes the particular blend associated with X in a sentence.
