parlamentnek

Parlamentnek is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun parlament, meaning “parliament.” In Hungarian grammar, parlamentnek is used to indicate the recipient or beneficiary of an action, corresponding to the English phrases “to the Parliament” or “for the Parliament.”

Morphology and usage notes: The form is produced by adding the dative suffix nek to the stem parlament. Hungarian vowel harmony governs the choice of -nek vs -nak; because the stem’s last vowel is front (e), the dative singular takes -nek, yielding parlamentnek. The plural dative would appear as parlamenteknek (parlamentek + nek). In sentences, parlamentnek marks the indirect object or the beneficiary of an action and often appears with verbs such as küldeni (to send), adni (to give), írni (to write), or előterjeszteni (to present/submit).

Examples:

- A parlamentnek küldtem egy levelet. (I sent a letter to the Parliament.)

- A parlamentnek szánt javaslatot bemutatták. (The proposal intended for the Parliament was presented.)

- Könyvet adtam a parlamentnek. (I gave a book to the Parliament.)

Parlamentnek is commonly found in formal or official contexts, such as political communication, legislative documents, and public correspondence. It is one of several dative forms in Hungarian that express the indirect object of a verb, and it illustrates how nouns interact with case suffixes to indicate semantic roles.
