Lépésekre

Lépésekre is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the noun lépés, meaning step. When the plural form lépések is combined with the directional suffix -re, the result is lépésekre, which expresses a destination or direction toward the steps, roughly translating to “to the steps” or “onto the steps.” It functions as a grammatical rather than a standalone lexical item.

Etymology and grammar: Hungarian marks direction or destination toward a location with suffixes such as -ba/-be, -ra/-re, and others. The suffix -re adds a sense of movement toward or onto a surface or location. Applying this to lépések yields lépésekre, a form that can appear in spatial descriptions, movement narratives, or contexts that require specifying a target area related to steps.

Usage notes: Lépésekre is relatively uncommon outside particular contexts, such as descriptive writing, choreography, or linguistic exemplification of Hungarian case marking. It may also occur in poetry or prose that emphasizes spatial progression or the idea of following a sequence. In everyday speech, speakers might opt for alternative constructions to express related meanings, depending on nuance and register.
