Jogalkotáshoz

Jogalkotáshoz is a Hungarian directional phrase formed from the noun jogalkotás (lawmaking, legislation) plus the suffix -hoz, which marks direction toward or for. The resulting form, jogalkotáshoz, is used to indicate that an action or condition is aimed at, related to, or required for the process of making laws. It belongs to formal or legislative language and functions as a complement in sentences.

Usage and meaning

The phrase is most common in contexts describing requirements, activities, or discussions related to the legislative process. It answers questions such as “for what purpose?” or “toward what end?” Examples include: A jogalkotáshoz szükséges erőforrások biztosítása (the provision of resources necessary for lawmaking) and A jogalkotáshoz kapcsolódó viták (debates related to lawmaking). It can also modify nouns with adjectives such as szükséges or kapcsolódó, emphasizing the connection to legislation rather than to a specific law.

Relation to related terms

Jogalkotás refers to the act of creating laws, while jogalkotási folyamat denotes the broader legislative process. Jogalkotáshoz is a derived, case-marked form used in phrases where legislation is the destination or purpose of the action. It is typically confined to formal or policy-oriented text and is less common in everyday speech.

Usage notes

As a prepositional complement, jogalkotáshoz appears with verbs or adjectives that describe relations to the legislative process. Its meaning is distinct from merely referring to a law (törvény) or to the act of drafting a bill, focusing instead on the connection to the broader act of lawmaking.
