ingereknek

Inger, in Hungarian, means stimulus or irritant, particularly in the context of biology, psychology, and sensory perception. ingereknek is the dative plural form of inger, formed by adding the plural ending -ek and the dative ending -nek, yielding “to/for the stimuli.”

Grammar and usage

The dative case in Hungarian marks the recipient, target, or context related to the action described. ingereknek therefore means “to the stimuli” or “for the stimuli,” and is used in sentences where the stimuli are the reference point for a reaction, evaluation, or process. In scientific and technical language, ingereknek is common in phrases describing responses or adaptations to stimuli, such as a sensory system’s reaction to various inputs.

Context and fields of use

In psychology and neuroscience, ingereknek appears in expressions about how organisms or neural circuits respond to multiple stimuli. It can be found in discussions of sensory processing, perception, and reflexive or learned responses to external or internal stimuli. In everyday language, the form may occur in more formal or technical descriptions of situations involving stimuli, though simpler constructions are also common.

Related terms

Related concepts include inger (singular), ingerek (plural), and related scientific terms such as ingerület (nerve impulse) and ingerületátvivő (neurotransmitter-related). The word remains primarily a technical term, with most everyday usage preferring more common phrasing to describe stimuli and responses.
