évhez

Évhez is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun év (year). It denotes the dative case and is used to express direction toward a year or a relation to a time period. The form is created by attaching the directional suffix -hoz/-hez/-höz to év; in standard singular usage the spelling is évhez. In the plural, the form becomes évekhez.

Usage and meaning are best seen in phrases that relate something to a specific year. For example, az évhez kapcsolódó események means events related to the year, and az adott évhez kapcsolódó adatok refers to data connected with the given year. The dative conveys a sense of towardness or relevance regarding the year, rather than ownership or the bare location of an event.

Formation and variations: évhez follows the general Hungarian pattern of the -hoz/-hez/-höz suffix, with the exact variant chosen to agree with vowel harmony. When the noun is plural, the form changes to évekhez. The construction is common in compound expressions such as évhez kapcsolódó, évhez kötődő, or évhez viszonyított, where the root word remains év and the suffix anchors the relation to the year.

Relation to other forms: évhez is one of several directional dative forms in Hungarian, used specifically with time words to express relational or directional meaning toward a year or yearly period. It is not a separate lexeme, but an inflected form of év used in contexts involving time reference.
