színteréhez

Színteréhez is a Hungarian term that translates to "to its color" or "to the color." It functions as a possessive suffix, indicating that something belongs to or is related to a specific color. In Hungarian grammar, this suffix is added to the stem of a noun that denotes a color.

For example, if you have the word "piros" meaning "red," the form "pirosához" would mean "to its red" or "to the red of it." This construction is often used to indicate possession or a relationship. It is not a standalone word but rather a grammatical element that modifies another word.

The suffix "ához" itself is a combination of the dative case marker "hoz" (meaning "to") and the third-person possessive suffix "a" (meaning "its"). Therefore, "színteréhez" literally breaks down to "color-its-to." This allows speakers to express nuanced relationships between objects and their associated colors. While directly translating to "to its color," its actual usage can be broader, encompassing concepts like "in accordance with its color" or "related to its color." Understanding this suffix is crucial for comprehending the grammatical structure of Hungarian and how colors are integrated into possession and relational contexts.
