össztömeghez

Össztömeghez is a Hungarian grammatical form and term used to indicate reference to the total mass. It is formed from the noun össztömeg (total mass) and the suffix -hez, which in Hungarian marks direction or reference toward something, i.e., “to the total mass.” The phrase is commonly used in scientific, technical, and engineering texts to specify values, proportions, or comparisons that are relative to the total mass of a system, object, or mixture.

Usage and function

Össztömeghez serves as a prepositional phrase that provides a reference point in a sentence. It often accompanies verbs, adjectives, or nouns that express measurement, distribution, or normalization. For example, sentences may employ formulations such as “A sűrűséget az össztömeghez viszonyított érték alapján számítottuk ki” or “Az össztömeghez viszonyított arány fontos paraméter.” These illustrate that the phrase itself does not introduce a separate technical meaning; rather, it functions as a grammatical reference to the total mass.

Grammar and variation

In Hungarian, -hez is the standard dative/target suffix after stems ending in a compatible vowel or consonant cluster; in this form, össztömeghez is the typical spelling. The word is lowercase in ordinary use and is capitalized only if it begins a sentence.
