töröknek

Töröknek is a Hungarian adjective and noun. As an adjective, it means "Turkish" and refers to anything related to Turkey, its people, or its language. For instance, törökország means Turkey, and török nyelv means the Turkish language. As a noun, töröknek can refer to a Turkish person, a male or female. It is often used in a possessive or dative case, indicated by the "-nek" suffix, meaning "to the Turkish person" or "for the Turkish person." The word originates from the Old Turkic languages. In historical contexts, "török" was sometimes used more broadly to refer to various Turkic peoples, not exclusively those from modern-day Turkey. However, in contemporary Hungarian usage, it almost exclusively denotes a connection to the Republic of Turkey.
