hitelekre

Hitelekre is a Hungarian noun form that marks the allative case for the plural of the word hitlel? No, it's for hitel (loan). It literally means “to the loans” or “for the loans” and is used to indicate direction toward or focus on loans, as in phrases that relate to loans rather than to a single loan.

Form and grammar: the base noun is hitel (loan). Its plural nominative is hitelek. To form the allative plural, the suffix -re is added: hitelekre. The allative suffix in Hungarian is typically -ra/-re; after the plural stem ending -ek, it combines as -ekre. This form is used when the noun phrase functions as the target or domain of a verb or as part of a phrase like hitelekre vonatkozó, meaning “relating to loans.”

Usage and examples: hitelekre appears mainly in financial, regulatory, and statistical language. Examples include: A bank a hitelekre koncentrál. (The bank concentrates on loans.) A kormány a hitelekre vonatkozó szabályokat módosította. (The government amended the regulations relating to loans.) A statisztikák a hitelekre vonatkozó adatokat mutatják. (The statistics show data relating to loans.)

Etymology: hitelekre is formed from hitel (loan) + -ek (plural) + -re (allative). It illustrates Hungarian’s pattern of creating case forms for plural nouns to express directional or relational meanings.
