elnyomásához

Elnyomásához is a Hungarian wordform that combines elnyomás (oppression) with a possessive suffix and a directional case suffix. The base elnyomás gains the third-person possessive -a to become elnyomása, meaning “its oppression.” The suffix -hoz, used to express direction toward or toward a goal, is then attached, yielding elnyomásához. The result is a bounded form that means “to its oppression” or “toward its oppression,” depending on the surrounding verb and construction. This is a typical example of Hungarian suffix stacking, where possessive and directional suffixes fuse into a single word.

Usage and function: elnyomásához functions as a complement indicating destination or aim in relation to oppression. It commonly appears in phrases describing pathways, policies, or actions that lead toward oppression, or in phrases that specify what something is directed at. It is especially frequent in historical, political, or sociological texts when describing processes that culminate in oppressive outcomes. The form is adjectival when used in compounds such as elnyomásához vezető út (the road leading to oppression) or elnyomásához vezető intézkedések (measures leading to oppression).

Examples:

- Az elnyomásához vezető út hosszú és bonyolult volt.

- A kormány olyan lépéseket hozott, amelyek elnyomásához vezető folyamatokat erősítették.

Notes: The word is a morphological result of Hungarian’s agglutinative grammar, where elnyomásához combines the root elnyomás, the possessive suffix -a, and the directional suffix -hoz. Its exact nuance depends on the governing verb and context, typically conveying movement toward a state of oppression. See also elnyomás and elnyomás fogalma.
