Könyvre

Könyvre is the Hungarian postpositional form of the noun könyv (book) formed with the directional suffix -re. It marks movement toward or contact with the surface of the book and can be translated as onto the book or to the book, depending on the context and the accompanying verb.

Grammatically, könyvre is a case form used with verbs of position or action that involve placing or touching the book. It is part of a broader system of directional suffixes such as -on/-en/-ön and -ra/-re, which attach to stems to indicate location or movement toward a surface.

Examples illustrate its use: "A könyvre írok egy üzenetet." (I am writing a message onto the book.) "A matricát a könyvre ragasztottam." (I glued the sticker onto the book.) "A feliratot a könyvre tették." (They placed the inscription onto the book.)

Könyvre is not a standalone lexical item; it is a grammatical form of könyv. For plural references, the form becomes könyvekre. The usage is typical in both spoken and written Hungarian when describing actions that occur on the surface of a book.
