színekre

Színekre is a Hungarian form built from the noun szín (color) with the directional suffix -re. In practice this combination is used to express division, sorting or targeting something by color, as well as movement toward or onto colors, depending on the verb and context. The phrase occurs most commonly in constructions that describe organizing or categorizing items according to color, for example színekre bontás or színekre osztás, both meaning a breakdown or sorting by color.

In everyday and technical Hungarian, színekre usually appears with verbs such as bontani (to sort or break down), osztani (to divide), vagy csoportosítani (to group). Example: A ruhákat színekre bontják a raktárban = They sort the clothes by color in the warehouse. Another common formulation is színekre bontva or színekre bontva, indicating that something is presented or organized “divided by colors.” In design, textiles and color analysis, színekre bontás is used to describe the process of breaking a palette or collection into color groups.

The phrase is closely related to more general expressions like színek szerint (according to colors) which emphasise classification by color, but without specifying a directional or surface-related sense. Színekre is thus a flexible lexical component in Hungarian color terminology, used to describe both action (sorting, dividing) and spatial or directional nuance (toward or onto colors) depending on the surrounding verbs and prepositions.
