oldalakhoz

Oldalakhoz is a Hungarian directional expression formed by the plural noun oldalak (pages) combined with the directional suffix -hoz. It literally means “to the pages” or “toward the pages” and is part of a family of suffixes (-hoz/-hez/-höz) that mark direction toward a destination. The exact form is chosen to harmonize with the stem’s vowels; for example, oldalakhoz uses -hoz because of the word’s back-vowel structure.

Formation and grammar: The base is oldalak, the plural of oldal. The directional suffix -hoz attaches to the word to indicate movement toward or reference to the pages. In Hungarian, the choice among -hoz, -hez, and -höz depends on vowel harmony and the phonetic ending of the stem; in this case, oldalakhoz is the appropriate form. The construction functions similarly to other directional phrases such as házhoz (to the house) or könyvekhez (to the books).

Usage: Oldalakhoz is commonly used in contexts involving navigation, documentation, or instructions where a path, destination, or reference is described as being toward a set of pages. It can appear in phrases like oldalakhoz mutató hivatkozások (links pointing to the pages) or az oldalakhoz vezető út (the path to the pages). The expression helps specify direction or target within a larger structure such as a website, document, or logical grouping of pages.
