érzelemre

érzelemre is the allative form of the Hungarian noun érzelem, meaning emotion or feeling. In Hungarian grammar, the suffix -re (often paired with -ra) marks direction toward or onto a noun. When attached to érzelem, érzelemre is used to indicate the target, focus, or domain of an action or statement related to emotion. The construction is common in literary, rhetorical, and linguistic contexts, where writers discuss how discourse or imagery is directed at listeners’ or readers’ feelings.

Etymology and form: The word combines érzelem (emotion) with the allative suffix -re, yielding a case form that signals “toward emotion” or “to emotion.” This usage is distinct from the nominative érzelem or other cases, and it serves to express the object or domain of emotional impact or reference.

Usage in language: In practice, érzelemre occurs in phrases describing how something affects or relates to emotion. It is frequently found in literary criticism, rhetoric, and analyses of texts that aim to elicit or address emotional responses. Common constructions include érzelemre ható (affecting emotion), érzelemre utaló (alluding to emotion), and érzelemre ható kifejezés (a phrase that affects emotion).

Pronunciation: érzelemre is pronounced with stress on the first syllable: ér-zelem-re, typically rendered as [ˈeːr.zɛl.ɛm.rɛ].

Notes: As with any inflected form, the exact meaning of érzelemre depends on the surrounding verb or phrase. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used to express targeting or relevance to emotion in context.
