elbeszélésekre

Elbeszélésekre is the allative form of the Hungarian noun elbeszélések, meaning “to the narratives” or “toward the narratives.” The base elbeszélés denotes a narrative, tale, or recounting, and elbeszélések is its plural. Adding the allative suffix -re forms elbeszélésekre, used in Hungarian to indicate direction toward a place, object, or topic, including figurative targets such as a subject of discussion.

In linguistic and literary usage, elbeszélésekre functions as a case form that marks the narratives as the focus or target of analysis, reference, or action. For example, phrases such as az elbeszélésekre irányuló figyelem (attention directed to the narratives) or az elbeszélésekre vonatkozó megállapítások (findings pertaining to the narratives) illustrate its role in specifying the topic.

In literature, elbeszélések typically refer to narrative pieces, often shorter in form, that rely on storytelling or recounting events. This sense is related to, but distinct from, elbeszélés (the act of telling or the act of narration) and from történet or novella (which refer more broadly to a story or a shorter fictional work, respectively). The term elbeszélések emphasizes the content and method of telling rather than the broader plot category.

Usage notes: as with other Hungarian case forms, the allative suffix -re harmonizes with the preceding vowels; elbeszélésekre is the correct form for plural narratives used as the target or topic in a sentence.
