mindenkire

Mindenkire is a Hungarian phrase that means “to everyone” or “for everyone.” It is formed by combining the word mindenki (everyone) with the directional suffix -re, which is used in Hungarian to indicate direction, reference, or applicability. In practice, mindenkire is used to signal that a statement, rule, or action concerns all people without exception.

Etymology and grammar: The base word everyone, mindenki, is a pronoun referring to all individuals. The suffix -re attaches to indicate a target or scope of reference, producing mindenkire with meanings such as “toward everyone,” “applicable to everyone,” or “regarding everyone.” The expression is most often found in formal or policy-related language and can be used with verbs that describe applicability, such as vonatkozik (applies), kiterjed (extends), vagy érvényes (is in effect).

Usage and context: Mindenkire is commonly seen in public discourse, policy texts, campaigns, and official communications to emphasize universal reach or obligation. Examples include: “A törvény mindenkire vonatkozik” (The law applies to everyone), “A program mindenkire kiterjed” (The program covers everyone), and “A tájékoztatás mindenkire érvényes” (The information applies to everyone). In everyday speech, speakers may choose more informal phrases, but mindenkire remains a standard option for formal statements about universal applicability.
