hozzáad

Hozzáad is a Hungarian verb meaning to add, append, or contribute something to another thing. It describes the action of introducing an element into a set, list, collection, or overall whole. The prefix hozzá- conveys the sense of “to” or “toward,” while ad originates from adni (to give), together forming the idea of adding to or attaching to.

Grammar and usage: Hozzáad is a transitive verb that takes the thing being added and a target or recipient expressed with suffixes such as -hoz, -hez, or -höz to indicate the destination. For example, “A listához hozzáad egy új elemet” means “he/she adds a new item to the list.” In past tense it becomes “hozzáadott.” In compound constructions, it can appear with objects like data, elements, or items being incorporated into a broader whole. The verb is commonly used in everyday language as well as in computing and data-management contexts.

Etymology and related forms: The word is built from the prefix hozzá- (“to/toward”) and ad (from adni, to give). The related noun form is “hozzáadás,” which denotes the act of adding or an addition itself. The related verb form “hozzáadott” marks a completed addition, while passive or reflexive variants may appear in different contexts.

Contexts and nuance: In everyday Hungarian, hozzád ad is often used for extending a list, dataset, or collection, as well as for contributing an item or information. In mathematics, “összead” is more common for arithmetic addition, whereas hozzáad emphasizes incorporating something into an existing whole.
