érzésre

Érzésre is a Hungarian linguistic term used to describe a postpositional form derived from the noun érzés, meaning sense or sensation. The form is created by adding the suffix -re, which in Hungarian often marks direction, target, or reference. In practice, érzésre is a specialized morpheme rather than a common everyday construction.

Usage and function

Érzésre tends to appear mainly in formal, technical, or literary contexts. It is not widespread in ordinary speech, and its occurrence is often tied to specific verbs or expressions that denote reaction, perception, or assessment in relation to a sensation. The exact meaning can vary with context, but the general idea is to indicate something aimed at, or in response to, a perceptual event or sensory input. Commonly, érzésre is found in phrasal patterns that discuss how a stimulus is processed or how a perception guides subsequent action. Because of its rarity, it is typically encountered in medical, philosophical, or analytical prose rather than in colloquial language.

Relation to related terms

Érzésre is closely related to érzés (sense, sensation) and shares semantic space with érzet (perception, impression) and érzelem (emotion). Unlike these more common nouns, érzésre has a restricted distribution and serves a particular grammatical function in specialized texts. It should not be confused with more everyday formations involving -re with érzet or érzés.

Etymology

The form is built from érzés plus the directional suffix -re, reflecting its role as a specialized locative-target expression within Hungarian.
