Pontossághoz

Pontossághoz is a Hungarian grammatical form built from the noun pontosság, meaning accuracy or precision, with the allative suffix -hoz. It is used to indicate direction toward accuracy or toward achieving a specified level of precision. The allative suffix can appear as -hoz, -hez, or -höz depending on vowel harmony, and pontossághoz is the version that results when the base ends in a back vowel pattern.

In usage, pontossághoz serves to frame statements about goals, requirements, or references related to accuracy. It is common in technical, scientific, and quality-control language, where processes or standards are described in terms of aiming for, or achieving, a certain degree of precision. For example, a sentence like a mérés pontosságához szükséges kalibrálás expresses that calibration is necessary for the accuracy of the measurement; another example is A pontossághoz szükséges eszközök rendszeres ellenőrzést igényelnek, meaning that the tools required for accuracy demand regular inspection.

Relation to other forms: pontosság is the base noun for precision, and pontossághoz is one of several postpositional forms that attach to nouns to express relations such as direction, goal, or reference. This form contrasts with other constructions like pontosságról (about accuracy) or pontosságért (for the sake of accuracy), reflecting Hungarian’s flexible case and postposition system.
