vacsorához

Vacsorához is a Hungarian grammatical form built from the noun vacsora (dinner) plus the suffix -hoz. It conveys a sense of direction toward or a relation to dinner and is used to indicate that something is intended for dinner or to accompany it. The suffix -hoz is chosen according to Hungarian vowel harmony, and for the word vacsora the resulting form is vacsorához.

The form functions as a bound element rather than a free-standing noun. It appears in phrases that describe purpose or association with dinner, such as ingredients for dinner or items prepared for dinner. For example, A vacsorához szükséges hozzávalókat összegyűjtöttük means “We gathered the ingredients necessary for dinner.” Another example is vacsorához illő desszertet hozott, meaning “She brought a dessert suitable for dinner.”

Usage notes and context: vacsorához is common in everyday Hungarian and appears in recipes, menus, shopping lists, and meal-planning language. It is part of a family of directional suffixes (-hoz/-hez/-höz) that attach to nouns to express location, direction, or purpose relative to the base noun. In lexical descriptions, vacsorához is treated as a bound form rather than a standalone noun.
