plédnek

Plédnek is a grammatical form in Hungarian, not a separate lexical entry. It is the dative singular form of the noun pléd, which means a lightweight throw blanket or decorative blanket often used on a sofa or bed. In Hungarian, nouns change form to indicate grammatical relations, and plédnek signals an indirect object or the recipient/beneficiary of an action, roughly translating to “to the blanket” or “for the blanket” in English.

The base noun pléd denotes a blanket that is typically smaller and lighter than a duvet or heavier bed blanket. The corresponding plural nominative is plédek, and the dative plural is plédeknek. Pléd itself is a loanword in Hungarian, origins commonly traced to English plaid or related European terms describing a similar blanket or throw.

Usage and context: plédnek appears in sentences where the blanket is involved as a recipient or beneficiary in a simplified way, or in phrases that require the dative form. It is a standard part of contemporary Hungarian vocabulary, particularly in everyday speech and interior-design contexts where throws and decorative bedding are discussed.

Etymology and regional usage: pléd is a relatively recent borrowing, aligned with terms for textiles and home goods in Hungarian. The form plédnek reflects regular Hungarian inflection patterns for singular nouns ending in -d, with the dative suffix -nek. The term is widespread in Hungary and among Hungarian speakers who use the word pléd to refer to a throw blanket.
