problémára

Problémára is a Hungarian noun form derived from problémá, meaning problem. It is created by adding the suffix -ra/-re to the base word to express direction toward or the target of an action, yielding a meaning close to “to the problem” or “for the problem” depending on context. In usage, problémára often marks the entity that an action is directed at or that a discussion, solution, or consideration concerns.

In practice, problémára appears in sentences that describe actions aimed at addressing or relating to a problem. Common constructions include megoldást keresünk a problémára (“we are looking for a solution to the problem”) and a problémára vonatkozó javaslatok (“proposals related to the problem”). The form is contrasted with ról/ről forms such as a problémáról, which express aboutness or topic (the problem as a matter of discussion).

Etymology and status: problémára comes from problémá (problem), a loanword in Hungarian that entered the language from European sources, typically traced to French problème or Latin/Greek precursors in the broader history of the word problémá. The suffix -ra/-re is a productive Hungarian ending used to indicate direction toward or targeting of the noun it attaches to.
