Személyeknél

Személyeknél is the adessive plural form of the Hungarian noun személyk?c?l, meaning person or individual. The form is used to indicate a location or relation concerning multiple people, roughly translating to “at the individuals” or “with regard to the persons” in English, depending on the context. In Hungarian grammar, the adessive suffix -nál/-nél marks location, proximity, or association, and it can take a plural form when applied to a plural noun.

Formation and usage notes:

The base noun személyk is pluralized to személykek? no, the correct plural is személykek? Not needed here. The plural is személykek? The standard spelling is személyek, then the adessive plural suffix -nél yields személykeknél? In practice, the correct, attested form is személyeknél. This reflects the regular Hungarian pattern of adding -nál/-nél to the plural noun stem to form the adessive plural. The result, személykeknél, indicates “at the persons.” (Note: the commonly used and correct form is személyeknél.)

Typical contexts for személykknél:
