Hozzátartoznak

Hozzátartoznak is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb hozzátartozik, a compound meaning to belong to or to be a member of a group. Its core sense is that the subject is connected with or part of the referenced group, which can be a family, a community, an organization, or another collective.

In Hungarian, a closely related noun is hozzátartozó, meaning a relative or a person closely connected to someone. The plural form hozzátartozók refers to multiple such persons. The distinction between the verb form and the noun is important: the verb indicates belonging or membership, while the noun names the people who are so related.

The term is widely used in everyday language as well as in formal contexts. In legal, healthcare, and administrative settings, discussions of who is considered a hozzátartozó help define who may receive information, give consent, or be involved in certain decisions. In family terms, hozzátartozók are typically understood as close relatives such as spouses or partners, children, parents, and siblings, with scope varying by context and applicable law.

Usage can reflect diverse family structures and situations, including adoption, blended families, and long-standing personal relationships. While the core idea remains the same—belonging to a group or being related to someone—the exact implications of being a hozzátartozó depend on the specific legal, social, or institutional framework in which the term is used.
