Zárakért

Zárakért is a Hungarian phrase formed from the plural noun zárak (locks) and the postpositional suffixért, which marks benefit, purpose, or exchange. The expression literally means “for the locks” and is used to indicate what something is paid for, exchanged for, or provided on behalf of the locks, rather than to describe the locks themselves.

Grammatically, zárakért functions as a noun phrase with the -ért suffix attached to a plural noun. It commonly appears in clauses involving payment, barter, or compensation, such as when stating the price paid or what was exchanged. In sentences, it conveys the idea of value given or received in relation to the locks.

Usage examples illustrate its meaning in transactional contexts. For instance, a natural sentence is: A zárakért tízezer forintot fizettem. (“I paid ten thousand forints for the locks.”) Another example is A kulcsot a zárakért cserébe kaptam. (“I received the key in exchange for the locks.”)

Zárakért is not a standalone verb; it is a nominal phrase that relies on surrounding verbs to express the action (payment, exchange, or provision). It may appear in historical, legal, or trade-related texts where items are discussed in terms of their value or exchange terms.
