hangjához

Hangjához is a Hungarian inflected form formed by combining the noun hang (sound) with the third-person possessive suffix -ja/-je, followed by the directional postposition -hoz. The result hangjához means “to its sound” or “toward its sound.” It is a typical example of Hungarian’s agglutinative morphology, where possession and direction are expressed through suffixes rather than separate words.

Morphology and usage

The base noun hang takes the possessive suffix to indicate ownership (hangja = his/her/its sound). The dative postposition -hoz is then attached to the possessed form to indicate direction or reference toward the sound, yielding hangjához. This construction is used when the speaker wants to specify a relation to the sound itself, often in contexts involving sound design, acoustics, or audio equipment.

Examples

A hangmérnök a monitorokat a hangjához igazította. (The sound engineer adjusted the monitors to the sound.)

Notes

Hangjához is not a standalone lexical entry but a morphologically complex form. Its use is most common in technical or descriptive Hungarian, where speakers discuss how equipment or settings relate to a particular sound.
