határidhöz

Határidőhöz is a Hungarian postpositional form formed from the noun határidő (deadline) plus the directional suffix -hoz. It expresses relation to or direction toward the deadline, and it can indicate things done in relation to that deadline or comparisons with it. The suffix -hoz is one of several directional/postpositional endings in Hungarian that mark “to/ toward” a referent, with exact choice depending on phonology and harmony.

Common uses include variations of alignment, timing, and comparison:

- A tervet a határidőhöz igazították (they adjusted the plan to fit the deadline).

- A feladatok határidőhöz képest késnek (the tasks are late relative to the deadline).

- A jelentést a határidőhöz igazítottuk (we tailored the report to the deadline).

In phrases, határidőhöz often appears in combination with verbs that denote adjusting, aligning, or evaluating timing, as well as in fixed expressions like határidőhöz képest (compared to the deadline). The form helps specify that actions or evaluations are measured against a deadline rather than another reference point.

Spelling and usage note: the standard and correct spelling is határidőhöz, with the long ü and ö vowels preserved. A form written as határidhöz (without the diacritical marks on ő) would be considered nonstandard or an orthographic variation resulting from typing or character-encoding limitations in non-Hungarian contexts.

Related terms include határidő (deadline) and phrases such as határidőhöz képest or határidőhöz igazítás, which illustrate the typical syntactic functions of this suffix.
