Tanárokká

Tanárokká is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “into teachers.” It denotes a transformation into the role or status of multiple teachers and is used with predicative verbs such as válni (to become). The form is the plural counterpart of tanárrá, which means “into a teacher.” In standard usage, tanárokká occurs in sentences describing a change of identity or profession for a plural subject.

In typical constructions, the subject becomes tanárokká: for example, A program végén a résztvevők tanárokká válnak, meaning “by the end of the program the participants become teachers.” Another example is Az egykori diákok tanárokká váltak, “The former students became teachers.” The form is commonly found in educational discourse, policy texts, and narrative passages that discuss individuals or groups taking on teaching roles.

Morphology and usage notes:

- tanárokká is used with plural subjects; the corresponding singular form is tanárrá (into a teacher).

- It appears in predicative constructions with válni (to become), and to a lesser extent in other copular contexts.

- The construction reflects a functional shift or career change rather than a simple temporary state.

Etymology and related forms:

- Derived from tanár (teacher), with plural reference to tanárok in the base, combined with the -vá/-vé/ -kká pattern that forms the “into …” participial meaning in Hungarian. This yields tanárokká for “into teachers.”
