Bordáknál

Bordáknál is a locative plural form in Hungarian used to indicate a location at or near the ribs. The base noun is borda, meaning “rib.” The plural is bordák, and the locative suffix -nál is added to the plural stem to yield bordáknál, which translates roughly as “at the ribs” or “along the rib cage.” The corresponding singular form is bordánál, meaning “at the rib.” Bordáknál is therefore a standard grammatical construction rather than a specialized term.

Usage and context: Bordáknál is primarily employed in anatomical, medical, and descriptive writing to specify the region on the chest wall where something is located, such as pain, tenderness, or injury. It can appear in clinical notes, radiology descriptions, and anatomy explanations. For example, one might encounter phrases like a fájdalom bordáknál (pain at the ribs) or vizsgálat a bordáknál lévő területen (examination of the area at the ribs).

Character and nuance: As a location expression, bordáknál does not imply a particular diagnosis; it simply locates symptoms or structures on the thoracic wall. It is used alongside other body-region terms, such as borda (rib) in singular or has (stomach), mellkas (chest), or mellkasfal (thoracic wall) in broader descriptions.
