hozzádnihozzáadni

Hozzádnihozzáadni is a rare and largely informal Hungarian infinitive form that combines the prepositional prefix *hozzá* ("to, towards") with the auxiliary suffix *-ni* and the verb *hozzáadni* ("to add"). The resulting word literally means “to add to the addition,” and it is sometimes employed as a humorous or rhetorical device to emphasize the repetition or reinforcement of adding something. Because of its repetitive structure, the term is occasionally seen in online forums, blogs, or memes where speakers showcase word play or exaggerate the act of adding.

Etymologically, the construction follows a pattern seen in other Hungarian compound verbs such as *kijutni* (“to come out”) or *feladni* (“to give up”). The prefix *hozzá* is attached to the root *hozzáad* (“add”), and the infinitival suffix *-ni* turns it into a verb of action. The second *hozzá* functions as an additional prefix in the compound, creating a nested repetition that is grammatically permissible but stylistically unusual. Because of this, many dictionaries list the form only as an example of creative language use rather than a standard entry.

In standard Hungarian, the word *hozzáadni* alone conveys the meaning of adding, and additional uses of *hozzá* are generally avoided to prevent redundancy. However, in playful contexts, speakers might use *hozzádnihozzáadni* to self‑refer to a process of adding further information, an extra layer of enthusiasm to a comment, or to mimic an over‑exaggerated addition in a jocular tone. The term has not entered formal written Czech or professional language, and its primary domain remains informal, internet‑driven communication.
