fútvonalakhoz

Fútvonalakhoz is a Hungarian grammatical form formed from the plural noun fútvonal (route, line) plus the dative suffix -hoz. It represents the dative plural, used to express movement toward or reference to multiple routes, for example in planning or analysis contexts.

In usage, fútvonalakhoz answers the question “to which routes?” and appears in sentences where actions are aligned with, adjusted to, or considered in relation to several routes. Examples include: “Az ütemtervet a fútvonalakhoz igazították,” meaning that the timetable was adjusted to fit the routes; and “A kapacitást fútvonalakhoz viszonyítva tervezték,” referring to capacity being planned relative to the routes.

Morphologically, the form is built by taking the base fútvonal (root meaning route or line), adding the plural nominative ending -ak to yield fútvonalak, and then attaching the dative suffix -hoz to obtain fútvonalakhoz. This pattern illustrates how Hungarian uses case suffixes to indicate direction or reference for nouns in plural form.

Relation to related terms: fútvonal (singular), fútvonalak (plural nominative), and the broader Hungarian case system, with -hoz serving as a directional/dative marker. In transport planning and navigation texts, fútvonalakhoz may appear alongside other case forms to specify positional relationships with multiple routes.
