reformoknak

Reformoknak is the dative plural form of reformok, the Hungarian word for reforms. In English this form corresponds to “to the reforms” or “for the reforms,” and it is used to indicate the recipient or beneficiary of an action in a sentence. The word itself is not a separate concept but a grammatical form that arises from combining the plural of reform with the dative case marker.

Formation and usage: In Hungarian, the plural of reform is reformok. To express the dative plural, the suffix -nak or -nek is added, with the choice depending on vowel harmony. For forms ending in a back vowel, -nak is used, yielding reformoknak. This dative plural marks the target or beneficiary of an action and is typically used with verbs that govern a dative argument, such as kedvez (to benefit) or szól (to pertain to).

Examples:

- A döntés a reformoknak kedvez. (The decision benefits the reforms.)

- Kidolgoztak egy tervet a reformoknak. (They drafted a plan for the reforms.)

Notes: Reformoknak is a standard grammatical form in Hungarian and frequently appears in formal or policy-related writing, such as legislative, administrative, or scholarly texts. Its interpretation remains context-dependent, relying on the surrounding verb and sentence structure to convey whether it means “to the reforms” or “for the reforms.”
