Idhöz

Időhöz, commonly written as időhöz, is the allative form of the Hungarian noun idő (time). It is created by adding the allative suffix -hoz/-hez/-höz to the stem, with the specific variant chosen according to Hungarian vowel harmony. In practice this form marks direction toward or relation with time, and it appears in phrases that describe timing, deadlines, or time-based relations. The form czasily appears in established expressions such as időhöz mérten (in proportion to time) or időhöz kötött (time-bound).

Usage and meaning: időhöz is used when a statement or attribute is being related to time, often in combination with verbs or adjectives that express adjustment, comparison, or scheduling. For example, a sentence like "A projekt ütemezése az időhöz igazodik" means that the project’s schedule adapts to time. Another example is "Döntéseket időhöz mérten hoztak" indicating decisions were made in relation to the time available.

Relation to other forms: időhöz belongs to the broader set of allative suffixes -hoz, -hez, -höz, which attach to nouns to indicate direction toward a referent. The appropriate suffix is determined by phonology and the last vowel of the stem. Time-based phrases often use időhöz in combination with adjectives or participles to express time-related characteristics.
