valakikéhez

Valakikéhez is a Hungarian grammatical form used to indicate the recipient or target of an action for an indefinite plural referent, roughly translating to “to some people.” It is built from the indefinite plural valakik (some people) combined with the directional/dative suffix -éhez, signaling movement toward or addressing of a group.

The form is primarily found in contexts where the indirect object is a group of people or a non-specific audience. It can appear with verbs of giving, directing, addressing, or referring, and tends to occur in formal or written language. The corresponding singular form is valakiéhez/valakihez, while the plural is valakikéhez, reflecting the shift from a single recipient to multiple recipients.

Usage notes:

- Valakikéhez conveys a directional or targeted sense toward an undefined group rather than a specific named addressee.

- It often pairs with verbs like küldeni (to send), szólni (to address), szólt valakikéhez (was addressed to some people), or hasonló jelentésű igék.

Examples:

- A könyvet valakikéhez küldték. (They sent the book to some people.)

- A beszéd valakikéhez szólt. (The speech was directed at some people.)
