koncertekre

Koncertekre is a form of the Hungarian noun koncertek (concerts) in the allative case, used to express direction toward or toward the target of an action. It represents the plural, so koncertekre means “to the concerts.” In Hungarian, the allative suffix -re/-ra attaches to a noun to indicate movement toward a location or event, rather than possession or benefit.

Usage and meaning

Koncertekre is typically used with verbs of movement, attendance, or participation, such as megyek (I go), járok (I attend), vagyok a koncerten (I am at the concert), to indicate attending or going to multiple concerts. Examples: “A koncertekre megyek” (I’m going to the concerts). “A koncertekre szóló jegyek már kaphatók” (Tickets for the concerts are already available) illustrates the sense of targeting an event. The form can also modify nouns in genitive-like or descriptive phrases, for instance referring to tickets or plans intended for the concerts: “a koncertekre szóló jegyek” (tickets for the concerts).

Relation to other forms

The singular counterpart is koncertre, meaning “to the concert.” Koncertekre is therefore the plural parallel. The allative -re is one of several Hungarian directional cases; it should not be confused with -ért, which expresses “for the sake of” or “on behalf of.” The context, particularly verbs of motion or attendance, clarifies the intended meaning.

Origin

Koncert is a loanword from European languages (e.g., French/Italian/English). The plural koncertek and the allative suffix -re are native Hungarian formations, producing koncertekre as a standard, grammatically regular form for referring to events in the plural.
