munkakörnek

Munkakörnek is a grammatical form in Hungarian, the dative case inflection of the noun munkakör, which means job, position, or occupational role. The base noun denotes a specific function within an organization or the labor market. By adding the suffix -nek, munkakörnek marks the indirect object or the attribute relating to the job, often translated as “for the job” or “to the job” in English.

In practice, munkakörnek appears in phrases such as “munkakörnek megfelelő készségek” (skills appropriate for the job) or “a pályázatot a munkakörnek megfelelően kell megszerkeszteni” (the application must be prepared according to the job). It is not a separate concept or a proper noun; rather, it is an inflected form used to relate something to a specific position.

Usage: common in HR language, job descriptions, and formal writing where alignment with a given position is described. For language learners, it helps to recognize that -nek marks a dative relation in a noun phrase, reflecting how Hungarian uses postposed suffixes to link nouns with other sentence elements.
