mennyiségre

Mennyiségre is the Hungarian inflected form of the noun mennyiség (meaning "quantity" or "amount") formed with the suffix -re. The suffix -re expresses direction, target, suitability or relation and often corresponds in English to "to", "for", "per" or "in terms of". As such, mennyiségre is used to indicate something directed at or concerning an amount or quantity.

Linguistic and morphological notes: mennyiség derives from the interrogative mennyi ("how much") plus the nominalizing suffix -ség. Adding the case/postpositional suffix -re yields mennyiségre, a common way to form adverbial or relational expressions without a separate postposition. The form follows Hungarian vowel harmony and consonant-vowel alternation rules.

Usage and contexts: mennyiségre appears in everyday speech, technical language, commerce and law. Examples include phrases like mennyiségre vonatkozó szabályok ("rules relating to quantity"), ár menet mennyiségre számítva ("price calculated per quantity"), or szállítás mennyiségre szabva ("delivery adjusted to quantity"). In mathematics and statistics it may be used loosely in explanatory language to contrast qualitative and quantitative considerations.

Translations vary by context: "to the amount," "for the quantity," "per quantity," or "with respect to quantity." As a case form rather than a standalone lemma, mennyiségre is described in grammars and dictionaries under the headword mennyiség.
