zászlóhoz

The Hungarian word "zászlóhoz" translates to "to the flag" in English. It is the dative case of the noun "zászló," which means "flag." This grammatical form indicates that the flag is the indirect object of a verb, meaning it is the recipient or target of an action. For example, one might say "A katona zászlóhoz lépett" which means "The soldier stepped to the flag."

In Hungarian grammar, the dative case is typically formed by adding the suffix "-hoz" or "-hez" to the noun, depending on vowel harmony. "Zászló" is a back-vowel word, hence the use of "-hoz." This case is used to express direction towards something, as well as for indirect objects in sentences. Understanding cases like the dative is crucial for comprehending Hungarian sentence structure and the relationships between words. The phrase "zászlóhoz" specifically denotes movement or orientation towards a flag, or an action directed at or involving a flag as an indirect recipient.
