emlékezetnek

Emlékezetnek is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun emlékezet, which means "memory" or "remembrance." As a case form, emlékezetnek is created by adding the dative suffix -nek to the base noun and is used to mark an indirect object, beneficiary, or the recipient of an action in a sentence. Its literal function corresponds to English constructions such as "to memory" or "for remembrance."

In usage, emlékezetnek commonly appears in dedicatory, commemorative, or formal contexts where something is offered, devoted, or addressed "to the memory" of a person, group, or event. It can also occur in literary and poetic language to convey purpose or intent linked to remembrance. Example constructions include phrases where a monument, event, or publication is dedicated to memory: Emlékezetnek szánják a táblát ("They dedicate the plaque to memory").

Grammatically, emlékezetnek behaves like other dative forms in Hungarian: it governs verbs that take an indirect object and combines with possessive suffixes and modifiers to express relationships (for instance, az övék emlékezetének in extended possessive constructions). Related forms include the nominative emlékezet, the plural emlékezetek, and other case and possessive variations used according to syntactic role and nuance.
