régiónak

Régiónak is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun régió, meaning region. In Hungarian grammar, the dative case marks the indirect object, recipient, or beneficiary of an action, often translated as “to the region” in English. Régiónak is used when the action is directed toward a region or when the region benefits from the action, such as in contexts of funding, support, or communication.

Formation and forms: The dative is formed by adding the suffix -nak/-nek to the stem régió, yielding régiónak. The plural form is régióknak. This form is used with nouns referring to geographic areas and is common in administrative, governmental, or regional development language.

Usage and examples: The form commonly appears in sentences involving transfer or assignment to a region. For example: A támogatást a régiónak ítélték oda. (The funding was allocated to the region.) Értesítést küldtek a régiónak. (A notification was sent to the region.) A döntés a régiónak kedvez. (The decision favors the region.) It can also appear in phrases like régiónak szánt projektek (projects intended for the region).

Relation to other cases: Régiónak is one of several inflectional forms that express relations with a noun in Hungarian. It should be distinguished from the nominative form régió (the region) and from locative forms such as a régióban (in the region). The dative form is mainly used when the region is the beneficiary, recipient, or target of an action.
