Sikerért

Sikeréért is a Hungarian phrase that translates roughly to “for the sake of success” or “for success.” It is not the name of a distinct organization or movement; rather, it functions as a lexical combination formed from the noun siker (success) with the possessive suffix -e and the postposition -ért, which marks purpose or benefit. In usage, the phrase typically appears as part of larger sentences rather than as a standalone noun.

Etymology and form: The base word siker means success. The possessive suffix -e attaches to form sikere, meaning “his/her/its success.” The suffix -ért is a postposed particle meaning “for” or “in return for.” The resulting form, sikeréért, thus means “for his/her/its success” or, more generally, “for success” depending on context. This construction is common in Hungarian for expressing motivation, purpose, or justification.

Usage and context: Sikeréért is used to describe actions undertaken to achieve success or to benefit someone’s success. It can appear in prose, speech, or advertising to emphasize striving and ambition. Examples include phrases like “A vállalat a sikeréért dolgozik” (The company works for its success) or “Küzdenek a sikeréért” (They fight for their success). In broader media and rhetoric, similar formations with -ért are common when linking effort to outcomes.

Cultural and linguistic notes: Sikeréért illustrates Hungarian compound formation and the use of postpositions to express purpose. It is distinct from more general adjectives or adverbs and relies on context to convey whether the emphasis is on personal success, organizational success, or a universal notion of achievement.
