Információhoz

Információhoz is the allative form of the Hungarian noun információ (information). It is formed with the suffix -hoz and marks direction toward information or a relation to information. This form is commonly used with verbs that describe obtaining, accessing, or turning to information. The base word információ is of Latin origin (informātiō) and entered Hungarian through European languages such as French or German, taking the modern form információ.

In usage, információhoz contrasts with the accusative információt, which marks information as a direct object. For example, információt keresek means I am looking for information, while információhoz jut means I obtain information or come by information. Likewise, információhoz fér hozzá means to have access to information, and információhoz fordul can mean to turn to information or to consult information. The allative form is a common grammatical tool in Hungarian for indicating the target or source of an action rather than the object being acted upon.

The concept of information access is frequently discussed in legal and policy contexts in Hungary. Phrases such as információhoz való hozzáférés (access to information) appear in discussions of transparency, governance, and information rights, including elements related to információszabadság (freedom of information). In everyday language, információhoz appears in journalistic, educational, and administrative contexts whenever information is referred to as something to be sought, accessed, or consulted.
