egészre

Egészre is a rarely used Hungarian prepositional form derived from the adjective egész, meaning “whole” or “entire,” combined with the locative suffix -re. The construction signals scope or reach toward the whole of something, producing a sense like “to the whole” or “across the entire extent.” It is most often found in historical or literary Hungarian and in formal, careful prose.

In contemporary standard Hungarian, egészre is uncommon and can sound archaic or stylistically marked. Speakers usually express the idea with more common equivalents such as egészében (in its entirety), teljesen (completely), or by using noun phrases that specify the whole matter. The form is more likely to appear in fixed expressions or specialized texts, where emphasis on totality of scope is desired.

Grammatically, egészre functions as a prepositional phrase built from the adjective and the suffix -re, typically operating adverbially or as part of a larger noun phrase indicating scope. It does not stand alone as a free-standing word in ordinary speech and its usage tends to be constrained to particular stylistic contexts.

Related topics in Hungarian grammar include the locative suffix -ra/-re and other extent- or scope-marking devices, as well as compounds formed with egész to indicate entirety. For readers seeking current usage, standard references on Hungarian morphology and syntax provide guidance on when to substitute more common expressions such as egészben or teljes egészében.
