szükségére

Szükségére is a Hungarian postpositional form built from the noun szükség (need, necessity). It is used to express “for the needs of” or “to the needs of” a person or entity, and it combines the possessive suffix with an allative-type ending. In practice, the typical construction is valakinek a szükségére (for someone’s need) or, in the plural, a rászorulók szükségükre (for the needs of the needy). The form is most common in formal or written Hungarian, especially in contexts involving aid, budgeting, and policy.

Usage and meaning

szükségére marks the beneficiary or focus of the need. It answers questions like “for whose need?” or “for what needs?” and often accompanies verbs that involve allocation, provision, or consideration of needs. The singular form is used with a singular possessor, while the plural possessor takes а szükségükre.

Examples

- Az adományokat a rászorulók szükségére fordítják. (The donations are directed to the needs of the needy.)

- A program a gyermekek szükségére készült. (The program was designed for the needs of children.)

Morphology note

The form reflects standard Hungarian possessive and case morphology: szükség + é (singular possessive) + re (allative-like ending) becomes szükségére; with a plural possessor it would typically appear as szükségükre.
