hulladékra

Hulladékra is a Hungarian postpositional form derived from the noun hulladék, meaning waste or garbage. The suffix -ra attaches to a noun to indicate direction toward, onto, or relation to the noun, functioning as part of the Hungarian postpositional system rather than as a separate word. When used with hulladék, hulladékra often signals relevance to waste or serves to mark the target of a verb or a prepositional phrase.

In practice, hulladékra appears most often in phrases that denote something pertaining to waste. Common constructions include hulladékra vonatkozó, meaning “relating to waste,” as in regulations, information, or guidelines. Examples include: “A hulladékra vonatkozó előírásokat be kell tartani,” meaning “The regulations relating to waste must be followed,” and “A szervezet a hulladékra vonatkozó adatokat közzéteszi,” meaning “The organization publishes data relating to waste.”

Usage context tends to be formal or administrative, particularly in environmental policy, waste management, and regulatory texts. The form is also used in everyday language to indicate topics, policies, or actions connected with waste, such as collection, recycling, and disposal. The plural form hulladékokra exists when referring to multiple waste types or categories.

Etymologically, hulladékra is the combination of hulladék with the suffix -ra, illustrating how Hungarian relies on postpositions to express directional and relational meaning. Related terms include hulladék (waste), hulladékgazdálkodás (waste management), and vonatkozó (relating to).
