Méréséhez

Méréséhez is a Hungarian grammatical form that literally means “to/for its measurement.” It is created by combining the noun mérés (measurement) with a possessive suffix and the allative suffix -hez, producing méréséhez. The form is used to indicate purpose or requirement related to the act of measuring.

Morphology and formation:

The base noun is mérés. A third-person possessive suffix -e attaches to form mérése, indicating “its measurement.” The allative suffix -hez is then added to express direction toward or the purpose of the measurement, yielding méréséhez. This construction reflects Hungarian’s system of postpositional suffixes and vowel harmony, where suffix forms adjust to preserve pronunciation and harmony.

Usage:

Méréséhez is common in technical, scientific, and quality-control language. It appears in phrases that describe requirements, tools, or procedures associated with measurement. For example, to specify items needed for a procedure, one might use méréséhez szükséges eszközök (the tools necessary for the measurement). The form can also link measurements to activities, contexts, or devices in documentation and reports.
