Recepthez

Recepthez is a Hungarian grammatical form built from the noun recept, meaning “recipe,” plus a directional suffix that marks movement toward or reference to something. The combination functions as a postpositional phrase element rather than a standalone lexical item. It conveys the sense “to the recipe” or “for the recipe,” depending on the construction and context.

In Hungarian, the directional suffixes -hoz, -hez, and -höz are used to indicate movement toward a referenced noun or relation to it, and their exact form follows vowel harmony rules. With recept, the common form encountered in everyday usage is recepthez, reflecting the front vowel in the stem. The precise variant can differ with other stems, but the concept remains the same: the suffix modifies the noun to express direction or reference to that noun.

Usage of recepthez is frequent in cooking and instructional contexts. It appears in phrases such as “a recepthez szükséges hozzávalók” (the ingredients required for the recipe) or “a recepthez tartozó útmutatók” (the instructions related to the recipe). It is also seen in recipe databases, cookbooks, and culinary articles to connect actions, ingredients, or steps to a specific recipe.
