Alkalmazásaiban

Alkalmazásaiban is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun alkalmazás (application, use, or employment). It represents a combined grammatical construction that translates roughly as “in their applications” when the possessor is plural, or “in his/her/its applications” when the possessor is singular. The form results from adding a possessive suffix to the noun and then a locative suffix to indicate location or position.

Morphology and construction: the base word is alkalmazás. To express ownership, Hungarian uses possessive suffixes; for a plural possessor the suffix is attached to form applications as a unit (alkalmazásai, “their applications”). The locative suffix -ban/-ben then attaches to that possessed form to express “in …,” and assimilation yields the fused shape shown here: alkalmazásaiban. The exact ending reflects vowel harmony and the number of the possessor, so forms like alkalmazásai, alkalmazásaiban, or alkalmazásaikban appear in different contexts.

Usage: this form is common in formal, academic, or technical Hungarian when discussing where or how something is used or deployed across contexts. Its interpretation depends on who is being referred to as the possessor: singular (his/her/its applications) or plural (their applications). In practice, the plural possessor is often indicated in contexts that discuss multiple actors’ uses or deployments, while the singular form points to the uses of a single entity.

Examples (illustrative): singular possessor—A gyógyszer biztonságosságát az alkalmazásaiban figyelték meg. (The safety of the drug was observed in its applications.) plural possessor—A megoldás előnyeit az alkalmazásaikban használták fel. (They used the advantages of the solution in their applications.)
