Melléjük

Melléjük is a Hungarian grammatical form. It is the plural dative case of the pronoun "mellé", which means "beside" or "next to". The dative case in Hungarian typically indicates the indirect object of a verb or the recipient of an action. Therefore, "melléjük" translates to "to their side" or "beside them". This form would be used in sentences where something is being placed or directed towards multiple people or things. For example, one might say "Tettem a könyvet melléjük" which means "I put the book beside them." The plural aspect is crucial; if the object were singular, a different form like "melléje" (to its side) or "melléje" (to his/her side) would be used depending on context. Understanding cases like the dative and their plural forms is fundamental to constructing grammatically correct Hungarian sentences. It highlights the agglutinative nature of the Hungarian language, where suffixes are added to a base word to convey grammatical information.
