Fogalomhoz

Fogalomhoz is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun fogalom, meaning concept. It is created by attaching the suffix -hoz to the stem, yielding fogalomhoz. This form indicates direction toward or relation to the concept and is used with verbs and phrases that describe how something relates to a concept. It is not a standalone lexical item, but a case-like inflection used in sentences.

Morphology and usage

The suffix -hoz expresses a sense of “to/ toward” or “in relation to” the referenced concept. Its choice follows vowel harmony rules in Hungarian, so fogalomhoz is used with back vowels in the stem.
