rá

1. upon/on/unto him/her/it

   Ne szórd rá a homokot! ― Don’t throw sand on her!

   Gondolsz néha rá? ― Do you ever think of him?

   Senki sem emlékszik rá. ― No one remembers her.

This term may also be part of the split form of a verb prefixed with rá-, occurring when the main verb does not follow the prefix directly. It can be interpreted only with the related verb form, irrespective of its position in the sentence, e.g. meg tudták volna nézni (“they could have seen it”, from megnéz). For verbs with this prefix, see rá-; for an overview, Appendix:Hungarian verbal prefixes.
