északihoz

Északihoz is a Hungarian word that translates to "to the north" or "towards the north." It is a locative case ending, specifically the allative case, attached to the word "északi," which means "northern" or "north." The allative case in Hungarian is used to indicate movement towards a place or direction. Therefore, "északihoz" signifies movement in the direction of the north.

This grammatical form is frequently used in spoken and written Hungarian to describe journeys, geographical locations, or any action directed towards the northern part of a region or the world. For instance, one might say "A madarak északihoz repülnek" which translates to "The birds fly to the north." It can also be used in a more abstract sense, referring to a general northward trend or development. The suffix "-hoz" is added to words ending in a consonant that is not "n," "s," "r," or "ny." "Északi" ends with an "i" vowel sound, so the allative case suffix becomes "-hoz" after vowel harmony rules. This case ending is crucial for conveying directional information within the Hungarian language.
