Csavarhoz

Csavarhoz is a Hungarian allative form derived from the noun csavar, meaning screw. In Hungarian, suffixes such as -hoz, -hez, or -höz attach to nouns to indicate direction toward a place or object, roughly translating to “to” or “toward.” The form csavarhoz thus expresses movement or placement toward a screw or a screw-shaped reference.

The suffix is chosen according to vowel harmony, and the standard variants are -hoz, -hez, and -höz. For example, you would commonly see csavarhoz, ablakhoz, and emberhez, with the exact variant determined by the stem’s last vowel. In practical use, csavarhoz appears in sentences describing actions directed toward a screw, such as placing, aligning, or fastening relative to the screw. Examples include: “Tedd a csavarhoz a csavarhúzót” (Place the screwdriver to the screw) and “A csavarhoz nyomta a részt” (He pressed the part toward the screw).

Related forms occur with other nouns to express similar directional meaning, such as inzered forms for different items (ablakhoz, ajtóhoz). The concept is a standard part of Hungarian grammar and is commonly encountered in technical, construction, and everyday language when specifying targets of actions or movements.
