Fenntartásukhoz

Fenntartásukhoz is a Hungarian compound that combines a base noun with possessive and dative suffixes to express purpose or necessity “for their maintenance” or “to their maintenance.” The word is formed from the noun fenntartás, meaning maintenance or upkeep, followed by the plural possessive suffix -uk and the instrumental/dative suffix -hoz. The resulting form, fenntartásukhoz, is used to indicate resources, actions, or measures that are intended for maintaining something belonging to or intended for a group or entities in question.

Etymology and morphology: fenntartás is nominalized from fenntartani (to maintain). The possessive suffix -uk marks plural “their,” and -hoz signals direction toward or for, often translating to “for” or “to” in English. The vowel harmony of Hungarian governs the choice of -hoz in this case, consistent with the stem fenntartás.

Grammatical usage: Fenntartásukhoz functions as a modifier indicating purpose or necessity related to maintenance. It commonly accompanies nouns denoting resources, arrangements, or arrangements that are required for maintenance. For example: A közösségi szervezet fenntartásukhoz szükséges forrásokat kapott. The phrase can also introduce noun phrases such as fenntartásukhoz szükséges eszközök or fenntartásukhoz tervezett költségvetési elemek.

Context and scope: The term appears mainly in Hungarian texts dealing with budgeting, administration, nonprofit operations, or public services, where it is important to specify what is required for the upkeep of organizations, facilities, or programs. It is a functional grammatical construct rather than a standalone concept.

Notes: The form can vary with different possessives or stem changes, e.g., fenntartásához (singular), fenntartásukhoz (plural “their”). The meaning remains “for their maintenance” or “to their maintenance.”
