gyjteményekhez

Gyűjteményekhez is the allative form of the Hungarian noun gyűjtemény, meaning a collection, or collections in the plural. It is used to indicate direction toward or access to multiple collections. The base gyűjtemény becomes gyűjtemények in the plural, and the allative suffix -hoz/-hez/-höz is attached to express “to the collections.” In this word, the form gyűjteményekhez follows the general rule of vowel harmony and suffix selection in Hungarian, resulting in -hez as the appropriate allative ending.

In usage, gyűjteményekhez appears in contexts such as libraries, archives, and museums, where there is a concern with access, direction, or relation to the collections themselves. For example, a sentence might read: A kutatók a gyűjteményekhez fordulhatnak kérdéseikkel, vagy a gyűjteményekhez való hozzáférés feltételeiről tájékoztatják az olvasókat. This demonstrates its function to link actions or access to multiple collections rather than to a single collection.

Related forms include gyűjteményhez (to the collection) in singular usage, and other cases expressing location (gyűjteményekben, gyűjteményekben), movement into (gyűjteményekbe), or from (gyűjteményektől). The term is primarily grammatical and institutional, useful in academic, museum, and archival writing to specify relations with more than one collection.
