Kérdésedre

Kérdésedre is a Hungarian compound phrase that functions as a prepositional expression meaning “in response to your question” or “to your question.” It is formed from the noun kérdés (question) with the second-person possessive suffix -ed to yield kérdésed (“your question”), plus the postposition -re, which attaches to indicate direction or relation. The result is used to introduce or frame a statement that specifically addresses a previously posed question.

Etymology and morphology: kérdés is the base noun for “question.” The suffix -ed marks possession by the listener, producing a compound noun meaning “your question.” The suffix -re is a postpositional case indicating direction toward or in relation to something, here connecting the phrase to the ensuing content as the answer or response to that question. The construction is typical of formal or written Hungarian and is common in correspondence, Q&A contexts, and official communication.

Usage and style: Kérdésedre is most often used at the start of a sentence to signal that the information that follows responds to a specific inquiry. It tends to appear in polite, formal, or administrative language. Variants include kérdésedre válaszolva (“in answer to your question”) and a kérdésedre adott válaszom (“the answer given to your question”).

Examples:

- Kérdésedre válaszolva, szeretném jelezni, hogy a határidő módosítása nem lehetséges.

- A kérdésedre adott válaszom szerint az ülést augusztusra halasztjuk.

Kérdésedre is used primarily for addressing a prior query; it does not stand alone as a question but situates subsequent information as a response.
