ennek

Ennek is a form used in Hungarian grammar. It is the dative form of the demonstrative pronoun ez, meaning “this,” and it functions to indicate “to this” or “for this” in relation to a noun phrase. In standard usage, ennek appears in constructions that link a referent to another noun, often within a possessive phrase that translates roughly as “the Y of this X.”

Morphology and usage note: Ennek is not a standalone pronoun in typical speech; it is a case form that accompanies a following noun phrase. A common construction is Ennek a Xnek a Y, which translates to “the Y of this X” and is used to specify ownership or attribution relative to a particular thing already identified in discourse. The form ennek is lowercase in ordinary sentences, with capitalization only at the beginning of a sentence.

Examples:

- Ennek a projektnek a célja a költségek csökkentése. (The goal of this project is to reduce costs.)

- Ennek a könyvnek a tartalma releváns az olvasók számára. (The content of this book is relevant for readers.)

- Ennek a döntésnek a következményeit figyelembe kell venni. (The consequences of this decision must be considered.)
