nyugdíjára

Nyugdíjára is a Hungarian inflected form built from nyugdíj (pension). It is formed by adding the third-person possessive suffix -a/-ja to nyugdíj, producing nyugdíja (“his/her pension”), and then adding the allative suffix -ra/-re to indicate the target or purpose. The result nyugdíjára means roughly “for his pension” or “toward his pension,” depending on context, and it functions as a noun phrase in sentences.

Usage acts to mark the target or beneficiary of an action, especially in expressions about saving, spending, or allocating money for retirement. It often appears with verbs that take a noun in the allative sense, such as gyűjteni (to save) or költeni (to spend). For example: Nyugdíjára gyűjt. (“He saves for his pension.”) A vállalat nyugdíjára fordítja megtakarításait. (“The company allocates its savings for his pension.”)

Notes explain that nyugdíjára is a standard example of Hungarian morphology: possessive suffixes attach to the noun first, then a case suffix like -ra/-re is added. The exact English rendering depends on the verb and context. It is not a standalone concept but illustrates how Hungarian builds meaning through suffixation and case endings.
