tengerhez
Tengerhez is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “to the sea” or “toward the sea.” It is the allative form produced by attaching the directional suffix -hez to the noun tenger (sea). The choice of -hez rather than -hoz or -hoz follows vowel harmony rules, with tenger ending in a front vowel, yielding -hez.
Formation and function: In Hungarian, the allative suffix marks direction toward a destination in sentences with
- A hajó a tengerhez tartott. (The ship headed toward the sea.)
- Megérkeztek a tengerhez vezető úthoz. (They arrived at the road toward the sea.)
