évezredre

évezredre is a Hungarian noun form derived from évezred, meaning a century or a hundred-year period. The suffix -re in Hungarian is used to indicate direction, focus, or relation toward a time frame, so évezredre can be understood as “to the century” or “for the century” depending on context. In practice, the form appears mainly in formal or written language when the intention is to emphasize a temporal scope or a relation to a specific century.

Etymology and sense: évezred itself is a native Hungarian compound combining elements related to time and span, used to denote a century. The added suffix -re does not create a new lexical meaning but marks the noun for a particular temporal focus or relation. Thus évezredre is not a separate concept; rather, it is a grammatical form used when speaking about a century in a directional or topical sense.

Usage: The form is most common in phrases that describe relations to a century in official, historical, or analytical writing. Examples include:

- az évezredre vonatkozó becslések (estimates pertaining to the century)

- az évezredre tekintettel történő elemzés (analysis with regard to the century)

In these usages, évezredre signals that the discussion or data is constrained to or oriented toward a specific century, without naming the century explicitly.

Notes: évezredre is a productive form in Hungarian grammar and can be combined with adjectives or postpositional phrases to specify which century is in focus. It contrasts with explicit naming of a century (for example, 19. századra) by emphasizing the temporal scope rather than the numerical designation alone.
