méretekhez

Méretekhez is a Hungarian grammatical form formed from the noun méret (size) in its plural méretek plus the postpositional suffix -hez, which marks direction toward or suitability for something. The combination méretekhez translates roughly as “to the sizes” or “for the sizes” and is used when referring to multiple size options or to actions that are adjusted to various sizes. It is a typical example of how Hungarian uses a postpositional suffix to indicate purpose, direction, or applicability.

In usage, méretekhez appears as part of a larger phrase or clause rather than as a standalone word. It commonly occurs in contexts such as product descriptions, manufacturing, and design where adjustments or references are needed for multiple sizes. For instance, a text might say that a guide is "a méretekhez igazított útmutató" (a guide adjusted to the sizes), or that clothing is produced "a méretekhez igazított szabásvonalakkal" (with size-adjusted cutting lines). Another common construction is "a méretekhez igazított méretezés," meaning sizing that is tailored to the sizes.

Etymologically, méretekhez derives from méret (size) → méretek (sizes) with the plural suffix -ek, followed by the dative/postpositional suffix -hez, which in Hungarian denotes direction toward or applicability to the referenced set. It is a standard linguistic tool in Hungarian for linking actions or descriptions to a range of sizes.
