tartományokra

Tartomány (region, province, domain) has a plural form tartományok. The phrase tartományokra is the allative plural form, meaning “to the regions” or “onto the regions.” It is built by taking the plural tartományok and adding the allative suffix -ra/-re, here yielding tartományokra due to vowel harmony. The form is used to express direction toward multiple regions or distribution among them.

Common usages include indicating allocation or division. For example: A költségvetést tartományokra osztották (They distributed the budget to the regions). A projektet tartományokra bontva dolgoztak ki (The project was prepared by dividing it into regions). Such constructions appear in administrative, geographical, and planning contexts, where actions are described as applying to or being organized by region.

Grammatical note: tartományokra is the allative plural; it contrasts with forms like tartományokban (in the regions) or tartományokra vonatkozó (relating to the regions). The allative expresses movement toward or assignment to the referenced regions, and its use with plural nouns signals multiple recipients or targets.

Etymology and scope: tartomány derives from Latin territorium, entered Hungarian via earlier European languages, and is used across geography, administration, and statistics, as well as in some mathematical or informatic contexts to describe multiple domains or ranges when discussing distribution or mapping. The related form tartományok refers to several regions; tartományokra specifies the directional or distributive relation to those regions.
