szervezetnek

Szervezetnek is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun szervezet. The base word szervezet can refer to either an organization, association, or a living organism, depending on context. The ending -nek marks the dative (indirect object) case in singular, commonly translated as “to/for the organization” or “to/for the organism” in English.

In the sense of an organization, szervezetnek is used to indicate something belonging to or affected by the organization, or to express needs and actions in relation to the organization. For example: A szervezetnek szüksége van pénzre (The organization needs money). A szervezetnek tagjai vannak (The organization has members). In a biological sense, it can denote actions or relations involving the organism, such as: Az emberi szervezetnek számos szervrendszere van (The human organism has many organ systems).

Usage notes: the exact meaning of szervezetnek depends on context, since szervezet has both organizational and biological senses. The dative form is common in formal and written Hungarian, especially with verbs that express need, possession, or obligation, as well as in phrases naming the indirect recipient of an action (to/for the organization, to/for the organism). Related terms include szervezettség (organization/ordering) and szerveződés (organization process or formation).
