szerszámokhoz

Szerszámokhoz is a Hungarian grammatical construction formed by combining the plural noun szerszámok (tools) with the directional suffix -hoz. The resulting form expresses direction toward or reference to the group of tools. It is not a separate word with its own meaning, but an inflected form used in sentences to indicate destination or focus.

Usage and examples

The suffix is used with verbs and phrases that involve movement, contact, or reference toward tools. Examples: “A dolgozó a szerszámokhoz nyúlt.” (The worker reached for the tools.) “A mester a szerszámokhoz fordult.” (The craftsman turned to the tools.) The construction can appear with various verbs and in different contexts where the tools are the target or point of attention.

Linguistic notes

Szerszámokhoz is formed by taking the plural szerszámok and adding the directional suffix -hoz. Hungarian directional suffixes include -hoz, -hez, and -höz, and their choice depends on phonology and vowel harmony rules. In this case, the correct form with the plural noun is -ok + -hoz, yielding szerszámokhoz. The suffix conveys proximity, direction, or relation toward the referenced group.
