kommunikációnak

Kommunikációnak is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun kommunikáció, meaning communication. In Hungarian grammar, the dative case marks the indirect object or the entity to which something is directed or intended, roughly corresponding to “to/for the communication” in English. The form is used when the noun is the beneficiary, recipient, or target of an action or description.

Etymology: The base term kommunikáció comes from Latin communicatio, through European languages such as French and English, and was adopted into Hungarian with the standard noun ending. The dative form kommunikációnak preserves the stem communic- with the appropriate Hungarian suffix -nak/-nek, producing a form suitable for indirect object use.

Morphology: The dative is formed by adding the suffix -nak or -nek to the noun stem, depending on vowel harmony. For kommunikáció, the dative singular becomes kommunikációnak. This illustrates how Hungarian handles inflection for nouns ending in -ció, where the dative is attached to the full stem and may involve a slight vowel adjustment.

Usage: The dative form communicates recipient, beneficiary, or purpose in a sentence. It is common in formal or written Hungarian and appears in constructions such as a kommunikációnak szánt anyag (material intended for communication) or a kommunikációnak címzett üzenet (message addressed to the communication).

Notes: Kommunikációnak functions alongside other case forms of kommunikáció in a rich system of Hungarian noun inflection, illustrating how meaning shifts with case endings rather than prepositions alone.
