Billentyzeten

Billentyűzeten is the locative form of the Hungarian noun billentyűzet, meaning “on the keyboard.” The term refers to the surface of a keyboard or to a position on the keyboard, most commonly the computer keyboard. In some contexts it can also appear in phrases describing parts of a keyboard or actions performed using it. For musical instruments, Hungarian often uses different constructions, such as zongora billentyűzete, to refer to the keyboard of a piano.

The word billentyűzet is a compound of billentyű (key) and -zet, a suffix used to form devices or instruments. The locative suffix -en attaches to create billentyűzeten, which marks location or direction toward the surface of the keyboard. This form is used with definite articles and in constructions that express where an action takes place, such as “a billentyűzeten” (on the keyboard) or phrases like “Beírtam a szót a billentyűzeten” (I typed the word on the keyboard) and “Nyomd meg a gombot a billentyűzeten” (Press the key on the keyboard).

Typical contexts include computing, typing, gaming, and keyboard instruction. The form is common in technical and everyday language to specify actions performed via the keyboard or to indicate the location of keys. Related terms include billentyű and billentyűzet, which refer to individual keys and the keyboard device respectively.
