Nehézségeknek

Nehézségeknek is the dative plural form of the Hungarian noun nehézség, meaning "difficulties" or "obstacles." In Hungarian, this form marks the indirect object in a clause or participates in fixed expressions that relate to difficulties. It commonly appears in constructions such as "nehézségeknek köszönhetően" (thanks to the difficulties) or "nehézségeknek ellenére" (in spite of the difficulties).

Morphology: The base word is nehézség (difficulty). Its plural nominative is nehézségek. The dative plural, as seen in nehézségeknek, is formed by adding the suffix -nek to the plural, yielding -eknek after the plural stem. This aligns with other plural nouns that take the dative suffix in Hungarian, such as barátoknak or gyerekeknek.

Usage: The form is used when the difficulties are the indirect object or are referenced in phrases that express relationship to those difficulties. Examples:

- A nehézségeknek ellenére befejeztük a projektet. (Despite the difficulties, we completed the project.)

- A nehézségeknek köszönhetően több tapasztalatot szereztünk. (Thanks to the difficulties, we gained more experience.)
