valakinek

Valakinek is the dative singular form of valaki, a Hungarian indefinite pronoun meaning "someone" or "somebody." It marks the indirect object in a sentence, indicating the recipient or beneficiary of an action. In Hungarian, the dative case is formed by adding -nek/-nek to the base form, so valaki becomes valakinek in the dative.

Valakinek is used with verbs that require an indirect object, such as adni (to give), mondani (to say), segíteni (to help), és megkérdezni (to ask). Examples:

- Adtam valakinek egy könyvet. I gave a book to someone.

- Megkérdeztem valakinek a nevét. I asked someone for their name.

- Segítek valakinek. I will help someone.

- Megmondtam valakinek a döntést. I told someone the decision.

The form also appears in expressions indicating benefit or obligation toward a person, for instance: “Valakinek tanácsot adtam,” meaning I gave advice to someone. For plural reference, the corresponding form is valakiknek (to/for some people).

Valakinek is part of a broader system of pronouns that decline for case, number, and person in Hungarian. It is used when the indirect object is unknown, indefinite, or nonspecific, and it can function across a wide range of verbs that take an indirect object.
