kapcsolatra

Kapcsolatra is a Hungarian word form derived from the noun kapcsolat, meaning contact or relationship. It is created by adding the suffix -ra (or -re) to the stem, a structure used in Hungarian to express direction toward or targeting of something, including abstract concepts like contact. In practice, kapcsolatra appears in contexts where contact with something or someone is described as a target, resource, or requirement.

Usage of kapcsolatra is most common in more formal or generalized statements about contact as a concept rather than in everyday conversation. A standard example is the phrase kapcsolatra van szükség, which translates to “there is a need for contact” or “we need to establish contact” in a broad sense. In everyday language and in business communication, speakers more frequently use verbs or derived nouns that more directly denote the act of contacting, such as kapcsolatfelvétel (the act of establishing contact) or kapcsolatteremtés (the process of creating contact). These forms are typically preferred when specifying the action of contacting a person or organization.

Etymology: kapcsolatra is formed from kapcsolat plus the directional suffix -ra/-re. Related terms include kapcsolat (relationship/contact), kapcsolatfelvétel (contact establishment), and érintkezés (contact/connection). See also: kapcsolat, kapcsolatfelvétel, érintkezés.

Notes: The -ra/-re form is grammatical and usable in particular constructions, but it is less common for simple, direct statements about contacting someone. In most everyday contexts, speakers rely on kapcso- ative verbs or the compound nouns noted above.
