infrastruktúrának

Infrastruktúrának is the dative singular form of infrastruktúra in Hungarian. It is used to express “to/for the infrastructure” in sentences that require a dative object, or to indicate the beneficiary or target of an action. It is not a separate concept, but a grammatical form of the base noun infrastruktúra.

Infrastruktúra refers to the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities needed for the operation of a society, enterprise, or activity. The term is commonly used in policy, urban planning, economics, and technology discussions. It encompasses a range of components, including transportation networks, energy and water supply, telecommunications, waste management, as well as social and digital infrastructures such as schools, hospitals, and information systems. The distinction between physical infrastructure and social or digital infrastructure is often emphasized in analyses of development and resilience.

Etymology and usage notes: infrastruktúra is a loanword with Latin/European roots (infra + structura). In Hungarian, the dative singular ending -nak/-nek attaches to the stem, yielding infrastruktúrának. This form appears in constructions with verbs that take a dative object or with expressions such as “szüksége van …”-type phrases, where the indirect object is in the dative.

Examples:

- Az infrastruktúrának szüksége van karbantartásra.

- A beruházás az infrastruktúrának kedvez.

- A kormány a digitális infrastruktúrának fejlesztésére forrásokat fordít.

Overall, infrastruktúrának functions as the grammatical case form used to refer to “to/for the infrastructure” within Polish Hungarian syntax, while the underlying concept remains infrastructure.
