csapatoknak

csapatoknak is the dative plural form of the Hungarian noun csapat, meaning teams. It is used to indicate recipients or beneficiaries of an action or item and translates roughly as “to the teams” or “for the teams.” The form appears in contexts where something is directed toward multiple teams, or when talking about information, resources, or actions intended for teams.

Formation and morphology: The base noun csapat forms the plural csapatok in the nominative. To express the dative (to/for) in the plural, the suffix -nak is added, yielding csapatoknak. This follows standard Hungarian consonant-stem plural inflection with the dative suffix, and it harmonizes with the surrounding syntax and word order.

Usage: csapatoknak is common in formal and formalized communication, such as official notices, guides, or messages directed at teams. It appears in sentences where teams are the beneficiaries or intended readers. Examples include: “A levelet a csapatoknak küldtük.” (We sent the letter to the teams.) “A csapatoknak szóló útmutató a pályázathoz készült.” (The guide for the teams was prepared for the application.) “Az információ a csapatoknak szánt anyagban található.” (The information is in the material intended for the teams.)

Related forms: csapat - team; csapatok - teams; csapatoknak is part of the broader Hungarian case system, where adjective and noun modifiers must align in case and number. In documentation and instructional language, csapatoknak helps specify the target group clearly.
