Élelmiszerekhez

Élelmiszerekhez is a Hungarian term formed from the noun élelmiszer (food, groceries) in the plural élelmiszerek, combined with the directional suffix -hez. It functions as a dative or target form meaning “to the foods” or “for the foods.” The expression is used when foods are the object or beneficiary of an action.

In Hungarian, the suffix -hoz (-hoz, -höz) marks direction, beneficiary, or purpose and attaches to nouns to indicate the target of an action. With élelmiszerek, the resulting form élelmiszerekhez is used to specify that the foods are what a verb or phrase is directed toward, involved with, or intended for.

Typical contexts include logistics, charity, labeling, and procurement. For example: A segélyezési projekt során élelmiszerekhez szánt adományokat gyűjtöttek. This means donations intended for foods were collected. A polcokra élelmiszerekhez szánt címkéket helyeznek, referring to labels intended for food items. Az értekezlet a szállítmányok élelmiszerekhez kapcsolódó részleteivel foglalkozott, indicating discussion of details related to foods.
