várakozásoknak

Várakozásoknak is the dative plural form of the Hungarian word "várakozás". "Várakozás" translates to "expectation" or "waiting" in English. Therefore, "várakozásoknak" signifies "to expectations" or "for expectations" when referring to multiple expectations. This grammatical form is used when a noun or pronoun is the indirect object of a verb or preposition, indicating the recipient or purpose of an action related to expectations.

For example, in a sentence like "Nem feleltek meg a várakozásoknak," which translates to "They did not meet the expectations," "várakozásoknak" is in the dative case, indicating what was not met. Similarly, "Felkészült a várakozásoknak megfelelően" means "He prepared according to the expectations," where "várakozásoknak" again shows the basis of preparation. Understanding the case endings in Hungarian is crucial for accurate interpretation, and the dative plural "várakozásoknak" specifically denotes the plural form of "expectation" in its indirect object function. It is a common grammatical construction used in various contexts to express the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of anticipated outcomes or the act of waiting for something.
