Mondatokhoz

Mondatokhoz is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “to the sentences.” It is the allative plural of mondat (sentence) and is used to indicate direction toward or relation with multiple sentences. In Hungarian, allative forms express motion toward something or a reference point for an action or description.

Morphology and formation arise from combining the plural suffix with the allative suffix. The base word mondat takes the plural suffix -ok to form mondatok (sentences). The allative suffix -hoz is then attached, yielding mondatokhoz (to the sentences). The allative suffix in Hungarian has three variants—-hoz, -hez, -höz—chosen according to vowel harmony; for mondat, which ends in the back vowel a, the appropriate form is -hoz, continuing with the plural result to mondatokhoz.

Usage and register: mondatokhoz is primarily a formal or textual construction found in linguistic, educational, or analytical contexts. It appears in phrases such as a mondatokhoz tartozó magyarázatok (explanations pertaining to the sentences) or a mondatokhoz kapcsolódó példák (examples related to the sentences). In everyday speech, speakers are more likely to use paraphrases rather than the explicit allative form, but mondatokhoz remains correct for indicating direction toward or association with multiple sentences.
