Jódhoz

Jódhoz is a Hungarian grammatical form that arises from the noun jód (iodine) combined with the suffix -hoz. In Hungarian, -hoz is one of the directional/relational suffixes used to indicate a toward or regarding relation, and the form jódhoz corresponds to the noun jód in the appropriate case for such constructions. The exact suffix choice follows Hungarian vowel harmony and phonology rules, but jódhoz is the natural form when the reference word is jód.

In use, jódhoz typically appears in phrases where iodine serves as a reference point, a destination, or a topic of relation. It is common in scientific, medical, or nutritional contexts to express relations such as direction, proximity, or comparison with iodine. For example, jódhoz kapcsolódó vizsgálatok means “iodine-related studies,” and jódhoz képest means “in relation to iodine” or “compared with iodine.” Similarly, jódhoz szükséges mennyiség refers to the amount required for iodine, as in the context of dietary guidelines or laboratory formulations.

Because jódhoz is a fixed form of jód used to indicate a relation to iodine, it is more about grammatical function than lexical meaning. The stem remains jód, while -hoz provides the directional/relational nuance. This construction is typical of Hungarian’s system of suffixal case and relation markers, enabling precise expression without additional prepositions.
