cselekménynek

Cselekménynek is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun cselekmény, which means act, action, or conduct. The suffix -nek (or -nak after back vowels) marks the dative, indicating the indirect object, beneficiary, or target of an action. In Hungarian, there is no separate dative case as in some languages; the -nek/-nak form serves the dative function in many constructions.

The form cselekménynek is used in sentences where the act is referenced in relation to another element, such as when describing the act’s consequences, evaluation, or association with other nouns. For example, it can appear in phrases describing what is done to or for the act, or when attributing something to the act as a unit of reference. In legal or formal prose, it may appear in constructions that discuss the act itself as an object of analysis or description.

Related forms include the plural dative cselekményeknek, used when referring to multiple acts in the same dative function. The base noun cselekmény covers general meanings of an act, deed, or conduct; in legal language it often appears in compounds such as bűncselekmény (crime/offense), where the focus is on a specific act within a legal context.
