Editing Dative case (section)

===Hungarian===
As with many other languages, the dative case is used in [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]] to show the indirect object of a verb. For example, '''''Dánielnek''' adtam ezt a könyvet'' (I gave this book '''to Dániel'''). It has two suffixes, ''-nak'' and ''-nek''; the correct one is selected by [[vowel harmony]]. The personal dative pronouns follow the ''-nek'' version:  ''nekem'', ''neked'', etc. This case is also used to express "for" in certain circumstances, such as "I bought a gift for Mother". In possessive constructions the nak/nek endings are also used but this is not the dative form (rather, the [[Hungarian noun phrase#Possessive construction with 2 nouns|attributive or possessive case]])<ref>[[Ignatius Singer]], 'Simplified Grammar of the Hungarian Language', 1882.</ref>
