Fogáshoz

Fogáshoz is a Hungarian term formed from the noun fogás, meaning catch or grip, with the suffix -hoz that denotes direction or purpose. In practice, fogáshoz functions as a dative form used to express “for catching” or “for the catch,” indicating the intended use or relevance of something to the act of catching.

The phrase is commonly found in contexts related to fishing, hunting, or capturing, where it serves to specify equipment, techniques, or procedures that are suitable for obtaining a catch. It can also appear in more general expressions describing things that pertain to the goal of capturing or obtaining something, sometimes in metaphorical senses.

Examples of usage include: A fogáshoz szükséges felszerelés közé tartozik a horgászbot, damil és csali. This means “The equipment necessary for catching includes a fishing rod, line, and bait.” Another example is A fogáshoz megfelelő technikák ismerete növeli a siker esélyét, meaning “Knowledge of techniques suitable for catching increases the chance of success.”

Etymology and form: fogáshoz is derived from fogás (catch) plus the suffix -hoz, which marks direction or purpose. The form may pair with adjectives or nouns to specify suitability or necessity for the act of catching. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used within larger phrases.
