Lakosságra

Lakosságra is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun lakosság (population) with the suffix -ra. In everyday language it appears as part of phrases that indicate relation to or focus on the population, and it is most commonly seen in expressions such as lakosságra vonatkozó or lakosságra irányuló, meaning data or actions relating to or directed at the population.

Morphology and usage notes

The suffix -ra (or -re) marks a directional or target sense in Hungarian, and lakosságra functions as the base noun form in such phrases. In practice, lakosságra is not used alone as a standalone noun but as part of larger noun phrases, often modifying adjectives or verbs to specify the population as the subject of reference. The most frequent construction is lakosságra vonatkozó, used to describe information, policies, or analysis that concerns the population.

Common contexts

lakosságra appears prominently in demography, statistics, public policy, health and social planning, and administrative reporting. Examples include data presentation: lakosságra vonatkozó adatok, or policy statements: a program a lakosságra irányuló intézkedéseket tartalmazza. The term helps journalists, researchers, and officials specify the scope of a statement as pertaining to the population of a given area or group.

Relation to related forms

As with other Hungarian -ra/-re forms, lakosságra combines with descriptive modifiers to form exact expressions. It contrasts with forms such as lakosságban (in/inside the population) or lakosságra vonatkozó (relating to the population), illustrating how case and directional suffixes shape meaning in Hungarian syntax.
