Látásra

Látásra is a Hungarian postpositional expression formed from the noun látás (vision, sight) with the suffix -ra, which in Hungarian often marks direction, destination, or purpose. As a bound form, látásra conveys the idea that something is intended for use with the sense of sight or for viewing. It is commonly found in compounds and phrases that emphasize the visual purpose of an object, device, or surface.

In usage, látásra functions to designate suitability or intended use related to vision. It appears especially in descriptive or marketing language, in technical contexts, and in medical or optical terminology. The construction is typically combined with nouns such as eszköz (tool), felület (surface), vagy szükség (need), to form expressions like látásra szolgáló eszköz, látásra optimalizált felület, or látásra szánt eszköz. These phrases translate roughly to “tool for viewing,” “vision-optimized surface,” and “device intended for sight,” respectively.

Grammatical notes: -ra/-re is a versatile Hungarian postposition appearing after a noun or nominal stem. When used with látás, the result is a purpose-oriented fragment that modifies the noun it accompanies or forms part of a compound predicate describing intended use. The phrase is not an independent verb or noun but a functional unit within a larger description.

See also: látás, látásromlás, látássérülés, látásjavítás, optika. Pronunciation emphasizes the first syllable: LÁ-tás-ra. The term is primarily a linguistic and descriptive tool rather than a standalone concept, serving to highlight the visual purpose of objects and designs.
