mosáshoz

Mosáshoz is a Hungarian grammatical form formed from the noun mosás (washing) plus the postpositional suffix -hoz. It functions to express purpose or target of an action, specifically indicating that something is for washing or related to washing. In use, mosáshoz appears in noun phrases that describe the intended use of an object or the aim of an activity.

Etymology and form: The form mosáshoz follows Hungarian vowel harmony, and there are three related suffixes for direction or purpose, -hoz, -hez, and -höz. The choice among them depends on the preceding vowel in the stem; mosáshoz uses -hoz because the stem mosás contains a back vowel. The structure is essentially noun + suffix, not a standalone verb form.

Usage: Mosáshoz is used to indicate function or purpose in relation to washing. It can attach to a base noun to show that an item is intended for washing, or to describe activities connected to washing. Examples include phrases describing required equipment, materials, or actions directed at washing.

Examples:

- A mosáshoz szükséges eszközök a konyhában találhatók. (The tools necessary for washing are located in the kitchen.)

- A mosáshoz használt mosószer koncentrátumot kell feloldani. (The detergent concentrate used for washing must be dissolved.)

- Ebben a tervben a mosáshoz kapcsolódó lépések külön szerepelnek. (In this plan, the steps related to washing are listed separately.)
