hozzám

Hozzám is a Hungarian directional prepositional phrase that means “to me” or “towards me.” It marks movement or action directed toward the speaker or the speaker’s location, and it is commonly used with verbs of coming, bringing, or transferring something to the speaker.

Morphology and forms: The construction uses the preverb hoz- (to bring) together with a person-marking suffix. The first-person singular form is hozzám. Other persons form a related paradigm: hozzád (to you), hozzá (to him/her/it), hozzánk (to us), hozzátok (to you all), hozzájuk (to them). These forms function like a dative or indirect object indicating the destination of the action relative to the speaker.

Usage notes: Hozzám indicates direction toward the speaker rather than a static location. It is typically used with verbs of motion or transfer, such as coming, arriving, or delivering something to the speaker. It can appear in sentences where the subject or the action is oriented toward the speaker’s location.

Examples:

- A vendégek hozzám jönnek. (The guests are coming to me.)

- A postás hozzám érkezik. (The postman arrives at my place.)

- Kérlek, hozd ezt hozzám. (Please bring this to me.)

See also: In Hungarian, other related forms express similar location or direction relations with different persons (hozád, hozzá, hozzánk, hozzátok, hozzájuk). The term is part of the broader system of postpositional pronouns used to indicate destination in relation to the speaker.
