végzéséhez

Végzéséhez is a Hungarian noun phrase used to denote direction toward the completion or finishing of something. It is formed from the abstract noun végzés, meaning act of finishing or completion, with the possessive suffix -e (to form végzése, “its completion”) and the dative suffix -hez, -höz, or -hoz depending on vowel harmony. The resulting form végzéséhez literally means “to the completion of” or “toward completion.”

Morphology and formation

The base is végzés (end, completion, execution). By adding the possessive suffix -e, the form végzése marks possession or association, i.e., “its completion.” The dative suffix -hez attaches to this form to express direction toward the completion, yielding végzéséhez. This pattern is common for abstracts formed with -zés/-és in Hungarian.

Usage

Végzéséhez appears primarily in formal, bureaucratic, or technical prose to specify the object or goal of an action as the completion of something. It answers questions like “toward what end?” or “for the completion of what?” Examples of use are typically found in phrases such as “a projekt végzéséhez szükséges erőforrások” (resources necessary for the completion of the project). In everyday language, more common expressions might be use of befejezés or befejezéséhez, but végzéséhez is correct in contexts that use the more technical nuance of végzés.
