Memóriára

Memóriára is a Hungarian linguistic form, the -ra/-re suffix attached to the noun memória (memory) to indicate direction, reference, or dependence toward memory. It is not a separate lexical item, but the dative-like form used in sentences where memory is the target, basis, or source of the action.

In Hungarian, memória denotes both human cognitive memory and computer memory. Memóriára can be used with verbs and expressions that require a basis or point of reference related to memory. For example, memóriára támaszkodva means “relying on memory,” and A memóriára van szükség translates roughly to “There is a need for memory.” The form also appears in contexts describing memory capacity or usage, such as statements about how a device or system depends on or utilizes memory.

Form and related forms:

- Nominative: memória (memory)

- Dative/target: memóriára (to/for memory; toward memory)

- Accusative: memóriát (memory as a direct object)

- Locative: memóriában (in memory)

- From memory: memóriából (from memory)

Usage notes:

- Memóriára tends to appear in phrases that highlight memory as a resource, basis, or limit. It is common in both everyday language and technical writing when discussing cognitive processes or computer systems.

- While “memory” in computing is often simply referred to as memória, memóriára is used when the expression requires a directional or referential nuance toward memory itself.
