Számítógépekig

Számítógépekig is a Hungarian grammatical form that functions as a noun phrase indicating an upper bound in a range. It is formed from the plural noun számítógépek (computers) plus the suffix -ig, which marks a limit or endpoint in space, time, or scope. The phrase can be translated roughly as "up to computers" or "until computers."

In Hungarian, the suffix -ig attaches to a noun to signal the extent to which a property or action applies. It is commonly used with predicates describing a range or progression, such as terjed (to extend) or eléri a határát (reaches its end). Számítógépekig is typical in technical, historical, or descriptive prose where a boundary of consideration or applicability is specified. For example: "A vizsgálat a számítógépekig terjed." and "A skála a számítógépekig terjed." These sentences mean that the scope or range stops at computers.

The etymology reflects Hungarian compound and suffixal morphology: számítógépekig combines the base noun with the derivational suffix -ig to express a limit. The precise meaning of számítógépekig depends on the verb or context, since -ig only marks the boundary and not the specific domain by itself. This construction is a standard mechanism in Hungarian for denoting spatial, temporal, or conceptual limits.
