Húzásra

Húzásra is a Hungarian term formed from the verb húz (to pull) with the nominalizing suffix -ás to yield húzás (the act of pulling), and with the suffix -ra/-re indicating purpose or direction. In use, húzásra denotes “for pulling” or “for the act of pulling,” and functions as a prepositional-like phrase or as part of compound expressions describing purpose or target.

Meanings and usage

- The act of pulling or drawing: húzás refers to the physical action of applying a force to move something. The form húzásra emphasizes the purpose or use of the action, for example in phrases such as húzásra szolgáló eszköz (a tool for pulling) or húzásra használt kötél (the rope used for pulling). In technical contexts, related terms include húzási erő (tensile force) and húzásra vonatkozó előírások (pulling-related specifications).

- Lottery or drawing sense: húzás can also mean a drawing of lots. In phrases like sorshúzás, húzásra is used to indicate the occasion or purpose of the draw, for example A sorshúzásra meghívást küldtek (they sent invitations for the drawing).

Grammatical notes

- -ra is a suffix that marks purpose, direction, or intended use, so húzásra translates roughly as “for pulling” or “for the pulling.” The exact meaning depends on context and neighboring words.

Etymology

- Derived from húz with the nominalizing -ás, then combined with -ra/-re to express purpose or direction. This creates a common pattern in Hungarian where the base noun describes an action and the -ra form constrains it to a specific use or target.
