Képességéhez

Képességéhez is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the noun képesség, meaning ability or capability. It encodes a relation toward someone's ability and is used in constructions that link actions, assessments, or constraints to that ability. Grammatically it is formed by adding the possessive suffix -e to képesség, producing képessége, and then the dative suffix -hez (or its variants -hoz/-höz) to yield képességéhez.

Usage and meaning: The form indicates “to (someone’s) ability” or “in relation to that ability” and is typically found in clauses that compare, adapt, or evaluate in light of a person’s capacities. For example: A vizsgafeladatok a diák képességéhez mérten lettek összeállítva. A teljesítményt a diák képességéhez viszonyítva értékelték. The dative suffix is adapted by vowel harmony, so the exact form of the suffix can vary as -hoz, -hez, or -höz depending on the preceding vowel.

Notes: Képességéhez cannot usually stand alone as a simple noun phrase; it is a grammatical form used within larger phrases. It is common in educational, evaluative, and technical language when describing alignment with an individual’s capacities.
