Miniszterekre

Miniszterekre is a Hungarian inflected form built from the noun miniszter (minister) in the plural, miniszterek, plus the suffix -re. The suffix -re marks a directional or locative case that indicates motion toward or a target, and when combined with the plural stem it yields the form miniszterekre, meaning “to/onto the ministers” or “toward the ministers,” depending on context.

The exact interpretation of miniszterekre depends on the verb and the surrounding sentence. It is commonly used with verbs of motion or direction, and with expressions that place emphasis on a destination or recipient. In addition to literal movement, it can appear in figurative constructions where the action is targeted at the group of ministers or at the domain associated with them.

Formation and related forms: miniszterekre is formed by taking the plural nominative miniszterek and adding the suffix -re. The Hungarian case system uses several suffixes to express location and direction, of which -re is one that can convey toward or onto. The meaning of miniszterekre is thus highly context-dependent and often guided by the main verb or preverb in the clause.

Etymology: miniszter derives from the Latin minister, with further transmission through other European languages. The plural miniszterek and the case-form miniszterekre have developed within Hungarian usage over time.
