érintettekre

érintettekre is a Hungarian grammatical form that denotes the indirect object or target of an action, specifically referring to the group of people who are affected or touched by a situation. It is not a separate lexical item with a standalone meaning; rather, it is a case-inflected form of the adjective érintett (the affected) used in plural.

Morphology and meaning: érintett is pluralized as érintettek in the nominative. To express “to the affected ones” or “towards the affected,” Hungarian adds the allative case suffix -re, yielding érintettekre. This form is used to indicate direction toward, or address to, the group of affected persons in various contexts.

Usage: The phrase is common in formal and official language, especially in contexts such as disaster response, public health, and social policy, where the affected individuals or groups are the focus of actions, information, or resources. It can appear in sentences like: Az érintettekre irányuló támogatást növelik, meaning “They are increasing the support aimed at the affected.” It can also appear in phrases like érintettekre vonatkozó tájékoztatás, meaning “information pertaining to the affected,” or érintettekre irányuló intézkedések, meaning “measures directed at the affected.”

Notes: As a grammatical form, érintettekre reflects Hungarian’s agglutinative nature, combining the plural noun érintettek with the allative suffix -re. Its usage signals emphasis on the group of people affected by a given event, policy, or intervention, rather than on a specific individual.
