Mélységére

Mélységére is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun mélység, meaning depth. It employs the allative-like suffix -ére to convey direction toward or toward the surface of something, typically within a phrase that marks the object of attention or reference. As a grammatical form,mélységére is not a standalone dictionary headword but a specialized construction used in descriptive or literary contexts to express focus on depth.

In use, mélységére appears in combination with a head noun to specify what depth is being pointed to. For example, tó mélységére would indicate the depth of the lake, while lélek mélységére refers to the depths of the soul. The construction is common in more formal, poetic, or analytical Hungarian prose, where writers describe exploration, inquiry, or metaphorical depth.

Etymology and morphology: mélység is the base noun meaning depth; the suffix -ére marks a directional or referential relation toward that depth. The form can appear with different governing nouns, producing phrases that translate roughly as “toward the depth of …” or “to the depth of …” in English.

Limitations and notes: This form is relatively specialized and may be encountered mainly in literary, scholarly, or descriptive texts. It is not a frequent everyday construction, and its exact grammatical labeling can vary slightly among grammars due to the nuanced use of Hungarian directional suffixes.
