pártokhoz

Pártokhoz is a Hungarian word-form meaning “to the parties.” It is the plural dative form of párt, the word for a political party or, more broadly, a party or group. The term is used to describe movement, contact, or direction toward multiple political parties, often in political or organizational contexts.

Morphology and usage: The base is párt (party). To form the plural, -ok is added, producing pártok (the parties). The directional suffix -hoz (to/towards) is then attached, resulting in pártokhoz, which indicates direction toward the parties. The choice of -hoz follows Hungarian vowel harmony and the rule that -hoz is used for certain phonetic contexts; here it marks spatial or intentional direction toward the grouped parties.

Meaning in context: Pártokhoz answers questions such as “to which parties?” or “toward whom is the action directed?” It is typically used when describing actions like appeals, communications, or negotiations directed at multiple parties rather than a single party. It can appear in reports, analysis, or discourse about coalition-building, policy proposals, or parliamentary strategy.

Related forms and contrasts: Párthoz denotes direction toward a single party. Pártokkal or pártokról would shift the relationship to possession or about the parties, respectively, while pártokhoz specifically emphasizes contact or direction to multiple parties.
