Rövidítésre

Rövidítésre is the adessive form of the Hungarian noun rövidítés, meaning “to the abbreviation” or “for the abbreviation.” In Hungarian grammar, forms ending with -re/-ra indicate direction, reference, or purpose, and rövidítésre is used when the sentence refers to something pertaining to an abbreviation or the act of abbreviating.

In usage, rövidítésre commonly appears in phrases that discuss rules, needs, or actions regarding abbreviations. It helps specify the object of discussion or action. For example, you might encounter sentences such as: a rövidítésre vonatkozó szabályok, which means “the rules pertaining to abbreviations,” or rövidítésre van szükség, meaning “there is a need for an abbreviation.” The form is a regular noun inflection and can be combined with other words to form compound expressions.

Rövidítés itself denotes the process or result of shortening a word or phrase. Abbreviations in Hungarian include betűrövidítések (initials or letter-based abbreviations) and szó- vagy szókapcsolatrövidítések (shortened forms of words or phrases). The adessive rövidítésre is thus a grammatical tool that enables precise reference to these abbreviated forms in discourse, editing, or annotation. Its use is governed by standard Hungarian orthography and style guidelines, which address matters such as punctuation, capitalization, and consistency when referring to abbreviations.

In sum, rövidítésre is not a separate concept but a grammatical form used to discuss or reference abbreviations. Its function is to mark the relation of a statement to the abbreviation itself within a sentence. See also rövidítés, helyesírás, akronímia.
