Kiolvasáshoz

Kiolvasáshoz is a Hungarian term that translates to "for reading" or "for the purpose of reading." It is a grammatical case used to indicate the intention or purpose behind an action. This case is formed by adding the suffix "-hoz" or "-hez" to a noun, depending on vowel harmony rules.

For example, the word "könyv" means "book." To express "for reading a book," one would say "könyvhöz." Similarly, "óra" means "hour" or "clock," and "órához" would mean "for the hour" or "for the clock." The usage of "-hoz" or "-hez" depends on whether the preceding vowel is a back vowel (a, á, o, ó, u, ú) or a front vowel (e, é, i, í, ö, ő, ü, ű).

This case is crucial in Hungarian grammar for clearly defining the recipient or purpose of an activity. It helps distinguish between simply possessing something and using it for a specific function. For instance, "asztal" means "table," and "asztalhoz" implies bringing something to the table or directing something towards the table, emphasizing the table's role as a destination or focal point for the action. It is frequently encountered in everyday conversation and written Hungarian.
