Versenyekre

Versenyekre is the plural allative form of the Hungarian noun verseny, meaning a competition or race. It marks direction toward or relation to multiple competitions and is used with verbs of movement or preparation, for example megy a versenyekre (“goes to the competitions”) and készül a versenyekre (“prepares for the competitions”). The form is created from versenyek (the plural nominative) with the allative suffix -re, in line with standard Hungarian vowel harmony.

Examples include: A csapat a versenyekre készül. A résztvevők a versenyekre utaznak. These illustrate how the plural allative is used to indicate going toward or preparing for several events rather than a single one. The singular counterpart is versenyre, used for a single competition (for example, versenyre menni means to go to the competition).

Usage notes: versenyekre is typically employed with verbs of motion or preparation, where the speaker wants to express action directed toward multiple events or activities. It can also appear in phrases describing participation in or attendance at several competitions, or in contexts where planning spans more than one event.

In Hungarian grammar, versenyekre serves as an example of the allative case, which denotes movement toward or orientation toward something and is formed by attaching -re to the appropriate plural stem. See also Hungarian grammar and the allative case.
