Munkásoknak

Munkásoknak is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “to the workers” or “for the workers.” It is the dative plural of the noun munkás (worker) and is formed from the plural munkások with the dative suffix -nak (harmonized as -nak after back vowels). This case marks the indirect object or beneficiary of an action and is used with verbs and constructions that take a recipient, such as adni (to give), küldeni (to send), vagy biztosítani (to provide). For example: A cég a munkásoknak ad bónuszt. Az intézkedés a munkásoknak szól.

In many sentences, munkásoknak appears as the recipient of an action or as the target of a provision. It can also function as part of a modifier phrase, for instance in a noun phrase like munkásoknak szóló program, meaning a program intended for the workers or addressed to them.

Differences with related forms are notable. Munkásokért, formed with the suffix -ért, means “for the sake of the workers” or “on behalf of the workers,” emphasizing advocacy or benefit rather than the recipient of an action. Example: A szakszervezet a munkásokért küzd. Thus, while munkásoknak identifies the recipients or beneficiaries of an action, munkásokért indicates motivation or support-related aim on behalf of the workers.

Usage notes: as a plural dative, the form commonly appears after verbs of giving, supplying, or addressing, and in phrases describing programs, benefits, or services directed at workers.
