értékén

értékén is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun érték, meaning value or worth. It is the locative form that results when the noun érték takes the third-person possessive suffix and then the locative ending is added, yielding a form that can be translated roughly as “at its value” or “on its value.” The underlying sequence is érték (value) → értéke (its value) → értékén (at its value).

In usage, értékén appears in expressions that relate something to a defined benchmark or basis of appraisal. It is commonly found in formal or technical texts dealing with pricing, compensation, or valuation, where a price or amount is stated as being set “at” or “according to” a particular value. A typical construction is valaminek az értékén, meaning “at the value of something.” This emphasizes the value as the reference point for a calculation or judgment rather than merely describing the value itself.

Morphology and syntax: értékén behaves like other Hungarian locative forms formed from a possessed noun. It typically functions within prepositional phrases that indicate the basis or location of an assessment, such as in contexts like pricing or appraisal. It is not a standalone everyday word but a specialized form used in precise, formal Hungarian.
