iskoláknak

Iskoláknak is the dative plural form of the Hungarian noun iskola (school). It means “to the schools” or “for the schools” and is used to mark the recipient or beneficiary of an action. The form is built from the plural stem iskolák together with the dative plural suffix -knak (alternating with -knek according to vowel harmony). In practice, iskola in the dative plural appears when something is given, allocated, donated, or intended for schools.

Common uses include indicating who receives a transfer or support, and in phrases describing purposes or beneficiaries. For example, a sentence such as a kormány az iskoláknak szánt forrásokat növelte communicates that resources were increased for the schools. Similarly, az adomány az iskoláknak került means that the donation went to the schools. The expression az iskoláknak szánt program describes a program intended for the schools, and az iskoláknak szóló pályázat would refer to a grant aimed at schools.

Usage notes emphasize that iskola is declined like other Hungarian nouns, and iskola’s dative plural form is distinct from the nominative plural iskolák. The form is common in official, educational, and NGO-related language, where specifying a target group of schools helps clarify the recipient or intended beneficiaries of resources, programs, or policies. Overall, iskáknak functions as a precise grammatical marker of indirect objects in Hungarian.
