fejezetnek

Fejezetnek is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun fejezet, which means “chapter” or “section” of a book. The form fejezetnek is used to indicate the indirect object of a sentence or to express the idea “to/for the chapter,” and it can also occur in predicative constructions meaning “as a chapter.”

In Hungarian grammar, fejezetnek appears with verbs that take a dative complement. Common examples include tekint valaminek (to regard as) and számít valaminek (to count as / to be considered as). For instance, Ez a rész fejezetnek tekinthető means “This part can be considered a chapter,” and Ez a rész fejezetnek számít means “This part counts as a chapter.” Another common usage is adni valaminek (to give something to someone), as in A fejezetnek címet adtak, meaning “They gave the chapter a title” (they assigned a title to the chapter).

The plural dative form is fejezeteknek, used when referring to multiple chapters, as in Az egyes fejezeteknek külön alcíme van (“Each chapter has a different subtitle”). The dative form is a standard part of Hungarian noun inflection and follows regular vowel harmony rules: fejezetnek is chosen for the singular, fejezeteknek for the plural.

Overall, fejezetnek functions as a grammatical marker to denote an indirect object or a predicative role related to “chapter,” and it is encountered in literary, academic, and general prose where chapters are discussed, labeled, or analyzed.
