anyáknak

Anyáknak is the dative plural form of the Hungarian noun anya (mother). It is formed by taking the plural form anyák and adding the dative suffix -nak, producing anyáknak, which means “to the mothers” or “for the mothers.” In Hungarian, the dative case marks the indirect object or recipient of an action, rather than using a separate preposition.

The form is used in sentences to indicate that mothers are the recipient or beneficiary of an action. For example, Adtam virágot anyáknak means “I gave flowers to the mothers,” and Ez a rendezvény anyáknak szól means “This event is for mothers” or “intended for mothers.” The same structure can appear with different verbs and objects, such as anyáknak szóló ajándékok (“gifts for mothers”) or anyáknak szánt szolgáltatások (“services intended for mothers”).

In everyday language, anyáknak commonly appears in contexts related to gifts, services, and events aimed at mothers, including communications around Mother's Day. It can also occur in headlines or labels to indicate content intended for mothers, for example in product descriptions or promotional materials.

Notes on usage and nuance: anyáknak highlights the recipient rather than possession and is a standard, neutral grammatical construction in Hungarian. It should be used with verbs or phrases that allow a dative indirect object, rather than requiring a preposition.
