diáknak

Diáknak is the dative form of the Hungarian noun diák, meaning a student. It marks the indirect object, recipient, or beneficiary of an action and translates roughly to “to the student” or “for the student” in English. In Hungarian, the dative suffix is typically -nak/-nek, and for the noun diák the singular form is diáknak, while the plural form is diákoknak when referring to multiple students.

The form is used in sentences where someone gives, shows, teaches, or provides something to a student, or when something is intended for students. Examples include: “A diáknak adtam a könyvet.” (I gave the book to the student.) “Ez a könyv diáknak készült.” (This book was made for students.) “A tanár útmutatást adott a diáknak.” (The teacher gave guidance to the student.) For multiple recipients, the corresponding form is diákoknak: “A könyvet a diákoknak szánták.” (They meant the book for the students.)

Diáknak is not a separate concept beyond its grammatical role; it is a standard inflection used to indicate the recipient or beneficiary of an action. It commonly appears in everyday language, educational contexts, and written Hungarian, especially in instructional materials and communications directed at students.
