kerekekhez

Kerekekhez is a Hungarian phrase that functions as the dative plural form of the noun kerekek, meaning “to the wheels.” It is used to indicate direction toward the wheels or a relation directed at the wheels, such as attachment or reference.

In Hungarian grammar, -hoz, -hez, or -höz are directional suffixes applied to nouns to express motion toward something or a sense of “to/onto” that thing. The particular variant chosen depends on vowel harmony and phonological harmony with the stem. When the base plural kerekek combines with the dative suffix, the result is kerekekhez, meaning “to the wheels.” This form appears in contexts involving wheels as a unit or component to which something is addressed or linked.

Typical usages describe objects, systems, or actions related to wheels. For example, a sentence might refer to brakes or axles attached to the wheels: A kerekekhez csatlakoztatott fékek javítása szükséges. Another example describes a component mounted toward the wheels: A jármű kerekekhez rögzített alkatrészei ellenőrzésre szorulnak. These contexts illustrate how kerekekhez communicates direction or relation directed at the wheels within mechanical or automotive settings.

Etymologically, the form derives from kerék (wheel) in its plural nominative kerekek, combined with the dative suffix -hez to indicate “to the wheels.” The construction is representative of Hungarian noun inflection, where stems take suffixes to express case, number, and directional meaning.
