eléréséig

Eléréséig is a Hungarian postpositional construction used to express a limit in time or extent up to the moment a target is reached. It is formed from elérés (reach, attainment, access) derived from the verb elér (to reach) plus the suffix -éig, meaning up to or until. The phrase typically follows a noun that denotes the target of reaching, such as cél (goal), feladat (task), vagy mérföldkő (milestone). It functions as an adverbial modifier, answering questions like meddig? (until when) or meddig tart? (how long until it is reached).

Usage and contexts are mainly formal, technical, or administrative. It marks the limit of a period, a window of opportunity, or the point at which a result is achieved. The construction is not a verb by itself but a temporal-locative phrase that can modify verbs or clauses: for example, "A cél eléréséig harminc nap áll rendelkezésre." (There are thirty days available until the goal is reached.) "A hozzáférés eléréséig a rendszer korlátozott." (Until access is obtained, the system is restricted.)

Etymology and related forms: eléréséig combines elérés with -éig, a productive suffix meaning "up to." Related terms include elérés (the act of reaching or accessing) and elérhetőség (availability or accessibility). The form contrasts with adverbs like eddig, idáig, which express time up to a point but without specifying the target of reaching.
