äärte

érte is a form found in the Hungarian language that functions as a pronominal postposition meaning “for him/her/it” or “on behalf of it.” It is closely related to the postposition ért, and it appears in constructions where the beneficiary or recipient of an action is being indicated. The form is most commonly encountered in fixed expressions and in contexts involving gratitude, defense, or other acts performed for someone or something.

In standard usage, érte tends to accompany verbs and noun phrases that express benefit, concern, or defense. It can be part of expressions that convey appreciation, support, or advocacy on behalf of another person or object. Because it attaches to the sense of benefit or purpose rather than modifying a subject directly, érte often appears in clauses where the focus is the beneficiary of an action rather than the performer.

Examples are found in everyday language and in more formal or literary Hungarian. A typical instance is a phrase like “köszönet érte,” which conveys the idea of thanks for something related to the beneficiary. Another common usage is in phrases describing support or defense “érte” someone, as in “kiállt érte” meaning that someone stood up for him or her.

The form has limited use outside Hungarian and does not generally appear as a distinct word in other languages. It is part of the broader system of postpositions in Hungarian that mark indirect objects, beneficiaries, or purposes. Related terms include the base postposition ért and other pronominal combinations used to indicate different persons or things.
