részesesetformája

Részesesetformája is a Hungarian grammatical term referring to the dative case. In Hungarian grammar, cases indicate the grammatical function of a noun or pronoun in a sentence. The dative case typically expresses the indirect object, meaning the recipient or beneficiary of an action. It answers questions like "to whom?" or "for whom?".

The dative case in Hungarian is most commonly formed by adding the suffix "-nak" or "-nek" to the noun or pronoun, depending on vowel harmony rules. For example, "a lánynak" means "to the girl" or "for the girl". Similarly, "a fiúnek" means "to the boy" or "for the boy". The choice between "-nak" and "-nek" depends on whether the preceding vowel is back (a, á, o, ó, u, ú) or front (e, é, i, í, ö, ő, ü, ű).

The dative case is essential for constructing grammatically correct Hungarian sentences, particularly when indicating the recipient of a verb's action. It distinguishes the indirect object from the direct object, which is in the accusative case. Understanding and correctly applying the dative case, including its various forms and its role in vowel harmony, is a fundamental aspect of learning Hungarian.
