Tartalmaknak

Tartalmaknak is a Hungarian grammatical form, specifically the dative plural form of the noun tartalom, meaning contents or contents of something. It is created by adding the dative suffix -nak to the plural stem tartalmak, resulting in tartalmaknak. The choice between -nak and -nek follows Hungarian vowel harmony; since the last vowel in tartalmak is a, the form uses -nak.

In Hungarian, the dative case marks the indirect object, recipient, or direction toward something. Tartalmaknak is used when the contents themselves are the beneficiary or reference point of an action or description, i.e., “to/for the contents.” It often appears in phrases describing labeling, information, or requirements related to what a container or item holds.

Examples:

- A doboz tartalmaknak megfelelő címkét kapott. (The box received a label appropriate for its contents.)

- A kiadvány tartalmaknak megfelelő információkat tartalmaz. (The publication contains information appropriate for the contents.)

- A csomag tartalmaknak megfelelő jelöléseket kellett felhelyezni. (Labels appropriate for the contents had to be affixed.)

Tartalmaknak is a standard illustration of how Hungarian uses -nak to mark the dative plural, and it can be found in similar constructions with other plural nouns. It is not a separate lexical item, but a grammatical form that combines the plural stem with the dative suffix.
