Számításhoz

Számításhoz is a Hungarian linguistic form built from the noun számítás (calculation) with the suffix -hoz, which marks direction or purpose. The result is a prepositional-like phrase meaning “for calculation” or “to be used for calculating.” It is commonly used in technical, academic, and instructional language to specify the intended use of tools, data, or methods.

Grammatically, számításhoz attaches directly to the stem számítás and conforms to Hungarian vowel harmony. The construction functions as a modifier indicating purpose, often preceding nouns such as eszközök, adatok, vagy módszerek (tools, data, or methods) that are required for performing a calculation. For example: számításhoz szükséges eszközök (tools necessary for calculation), számításhoz használt algoritmusok (algorithms used for calculation), vagy a program számításhoz lett tervezve (the program was designed for calculation).

In use, számításhoz contrasts with forms like számításra, which can emphasize the action or object of the calculation rather than the intended purpose. The choice between szerkezetek depends on nuance and stylistic considerations, but számításhoz remains a standard, neutral way to denote purpose in technical Hungarian.

Typical contexts include mathematics, computer science, engineering, and manual or documentation language, where precise indication of function or purpose is important. The term is part of everyday formal Hungarian and does not carry connotations beyond its stated purpose.
