Partnerekhez

Partnerekhez is a Hungarian linguistic construction formed from the noun partner (borrowed from English) in its plural nominative partnerek, with the allative suffix -hez. The resulting form partnerekhez means “to the partners” or “toward the partners.” It is used to indicate direction, recipients, or addressed groups in a sentence, typically in formal or business contexts.

In Hungarian, -hoz, -hez, or -höz are allative/directional suffixes that attach to a noun to show movement toward or address to that noun. The choice among -hoz, -hez, and -höz depends on vowel harmony and phonological rules. Partnerekhez uses -hez, which is appropriate for the stem’s vowels. Thus partnerekhez is the plural counterpart of partnerhez (to the partner) and follows the same pattern.

Usage examples include phrases such as:

- A partnerekhez intézett levélben köszönetet mondunk. (In the letter addressed to the partners, we express thanks.)

- A jelentést a partnerekhez küldtük. (We sent the report to the partners.)

- Egy partnerekhez szóló közleményben összegzik a projekt állását. (A communication addressed to the partners summarizes the project’s status.)

Partnerekhez appears primarily in formal communications, documentation, or statements directed at a group of business partners. It contrasts with forms like partnereknek (the dative/indirect object “to the partners”) and partnerhez (to the partner), which express slightly different nuances of direction or recipient. Etymologically, it is a standard Hungarian word formation combining a borrowed term with a regular directional suffix.
