klubhoz

Klubhoz is a Hungarian directional postposition formed by attaching the suffix -hoz to the noun klub, producing the phrase meaning “to the club.” It marks movement toward a destination rather than a static location and is commonly used with verbs of motion.

In Hungarian, directional postpositions appear in three allomorphs—-hoz, -hez, and -höz—chosen to harmonize with the preceding vowel of the stem. For a word like klub, which ends in a back vowel, the usual form is klubhoz, though the precise form can vary by phonological context. The phrase is written as a single word when attached to the noun, and it takes the definite article as in a klubhoz (to the club).

Usage and examples include typical sentences in everyday speech. Elmegyek a klubhoz means “I am going to the club.” A klubhoz is used to indicate the direction of movement toward the club, as opposed to indicating a location inside or at the club, which would use a different case form such as a klubban (in the club) or a klubnál (at the club). For plural references, klubokhoz means “to the clubs.”

Klubhoz is part of Hungarian grammar’s system of postpositions that convey direction and destination. It can combine with other grammatical elements in sentences that describe travel, planning, or intention involving a club as a destination.
