salátáknak

Salátáknak is a Hungarian word that translates to "for salads" or "to salads" in English. It is not a specific type of salad itself, but rather a grammatical case ending used when referring to the purpose or recipient of something, in this context, salads. Therefore, when you encounter "salátáknak" in a Hungarian sentence, it indicates that the preceding noun or pronoun is the intended destination or use for salads.

For example, if someone is discussing ingredients they are buying, they might say "vettem zöldségeket salátáknak" which translates to "I bought vegetables for salads." Here, "salátáknak" shows that the vegetables are intended to be used in salads. It functions as a dative case ending. The singular form for "salad" is "saláta," and when referring to multiple salads or the concept of salads in general, the plural form "saláták" is used. The "-nak" ending is then added to this plural form to indicate the dative case. Thus, "salátáknak" is the plural dative form of "saláta."
