Szeletekre

Szeletekre is a Hungarian postpositional form derived from the noun szelet, meaning “slice.” It uses the plural szeletek plus the directional suffix -kre, and it marks movement toward the slices or the result of dividing something into slices, depending on the verb and context. The form is common in instructions, recipe language, and descriptions of preparation or serving that involve creating or arranging pieces.

Examples illustrate its use. For instance, "Kérlek, szeletekre vágd fel a kenyeret" means “Please cut the bread into slices.” "A hús szeletekre lett vágva" translates to “The meat was cut into slices.” "Tálald ki a gyümölcsöt szeletekre" can be rendered as “Serve the fruit in slices.” In these contexts szeletekre conveys the idea of partitioning or directing to the slices.

Usage notes and alternatives. Szeletekre primarily expresses division into slices or a motion toward slices, often in imperatives or passive constructions. For indicating location on top of slices, Hungarian typically uses locative forms such as szeleteken or other case forms paired with appropriate prepositions; szeletekre is not the standard choice for a static surface location. The base noun is szelet; its plural form is szeletek, and the combination with -kre yields the directional or distributive sense toward the slices.
