jelentésébe

jelentésébe is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the noun jelentés (meaning) combined with the possessive suffix -e and the illative suffix -be. It literally means into its meaning or to its meaning and is used to indicate movement toward or immersion in the meaning of something. It appears mainly in formal, analytical, or literary contexts rather than in everyday speech.

Morphologically, jelentésébe is formed by taking jelentés, adding the third-person possessive suffix -e to yield jelentésé, and then appending the illative suffix -be to produce jelentésébe. The construction exemplifies how Hungarian layers case endings (illative) onto a noun that already carries a possessive marker, with the usual vowel harmony rules governing the suffixes.

In usage, jelentésébe functions to specify directed relation to a text, object, or concept’s meaning. For example: A tanulmány a szöveg jelentésébe enged betekintést. — The study provides insight into the meaning of the text. Another example could be: A kritikus a jelenség jelentésébe vezet bennünket. — The critic leads us into the meaning of the phenomenon. Such phrases are common in scholarly writing, literary analysis, and discourse that engage with interpretation and sense-making.

Notes: jelentésébe is not a standalone lexical item; it is a grammatical form used when the speaker requires a precise directional meaning toward the concept of “meaning.” Its use depends on a suitable verb and context that frame the act of interpreting or examining meaning.
