Magyarázatára

Magyarázatára is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the noun magyarázat, meaning explanation. The form results from attaching the possessive suffix -a to magyarázat (giving magyarázata, “its explanation”) and then adding the case suffix -ra, producing magyarázatára. In combination, this construction typically means “to its explanation,” “for its explanation,” or, more generally, a reference to the explanation of something. The exact meaning depends on context and the surrounding syntactic structure.

In usage, magyarázatára functions within noun phrases to indicate a connection to a specific explanation. It is commonly found in clauses that discuss questions, responses, or references related to that explanation. For example, a phrase like magyarázatára vonatkozó kérdések means “questions relating to its explanation.” Another example is a phrase such as magyarázatára adott válasz, meaning “the answer given to its explanation.” These constructions show how Hungarian uses affixation to express possession and directional or referential relationships within a single word form.

Etymology and morphology are straightforward: magyarázat comes from the verb magyaráz (to explain) with a nominalizing suffix -at; the possessive suffix -a marks the noun as belonging to a third person subject, and the suffix -ra marks a directional or referential case, yielding the combined form magyarázatára. The form is mainly a grammatical tool in Hungarian and appears in formal or written contexts to specify linkage to an explanation rather than in everyday speech.
