Mondatrészhez

Mondatrészhez is a form in Hungarian grammar formed by the noun mondatrész (sentence part) plus the allative suffix -hoz, -hez, or -höz. The base term mondatrész refers to any component of a sentence, such as the subject, predicate, object, or various modifiers. The combination mondatrészhez is used to express a relation of belonging or connection to a specific sentence part, rather than a physical location.

In practice, mondatrészhez appears in phrases that discuss or specify how something relates to a sentence component. The suffix marks a directional or relational meaning, and the exact variant (-hoz, -hez, -höz) is determined by vowel harmony rules. For example, one might encounter phrases like mondatrészhez tartozó kérdések (questions pertaining to a sentence part) or mondatrészhez kapcsolódó példák (examples connected to a sentence part). These forms are typical in linguistic descriptions, grammar exercises, and didactic materials that analyze sentence structure.

Usage and function: Mondatrészhez functions as a case-inflected construct used in descriptive contexts rather than as a standalone everyday word. It serves to link discourse to a particular sentence component, enabling precise discussion of which part of the sentence is involved. It is not a fixed lexical item but a grammatical form built from mondatrész with the allative suffix.

Origins and related terms: Mondatrész comes from mondat (sentence) plus rész (part). Related concepts include the broader field of mondattan (syntax), as well as specific mondatrész categories such as alany (subject), állítmány (predicate), tárgy (object), and határozó (adverbial modifier).
