Évtizedre

Évtizedre is a Hungarian temporal expression formed from the noun évtized, meaning “decade,” with the postpositional suffix -re. The word functions to indicate a time frame related to a decade and is typically translated into English as “for a decade,” “to the decade,” or “for the decade,” depending on the context.

Usage of évtizedre centers on describing duration, scope, or reference points at the level of a decade. It appears in phrases that modify nouns denoting time or planning horizons. Examples include:

- egy évtizedre szóló projekt (a project lasting for a decade)

- a következő évtizedre vonatkozó adatok (data relating to the next decade)

- évtizedre tervezett beruházások (investments planned for the decade)

In Hungarian, évtizedre is flexible for forming temporal expressions that speak about a decade-scale period. The -re suffix acts as a directional or temporal marker, linking the noun to an action, policy, projection, or description that concerns the decade in question.

Etymology and form: évtizedre is derived from évtized, the word for a ten-year period, with the suffix -re to establish a time-focused relation. It is not a separate lexical item with a distinct meaning beyond its role in describing time frames; rather, it is a grammatical construction used to specify decade-level context.
