Felállításban

Felállításban is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from felállítás, meaning a formation, arrangement, or lineup, plus the locative suffix -ban/-ben indicating “in.” Thus felállításban denotes being in the formation or lineup and is commonly used to describe the position or arrangement of people or objects within a prescribed order.

Etymology and meaning: felállítás originates from the verb állítani, “to set up or place,” with the prefix fel- adding a sense of completion or upward orientation. The suffix -ítás forms a noun meaning the act or result of setting up, while -ban marks the locative case, yielding the sense “in the arrangement.”

Usage: The term is widely used across domains such as sports, military, and performing arts. In sports, especially football or other team disciplines, it refers to how players are arranged on the field, e.g., “a csapat felállításában változás történt” (there was a change in the team's formation). In military contexts, it describes troop disposition. In theatre, film, and event staging, it denotes the placement of actors and props. The expression can also be used metaphorically to describe being part of a fixed setup or situation.

Grammatical notes: Felállításban functions as an inessive form and can be combined with different modifiers and particles to describe specific configurations or moments. It is one of several related forms based on felállítás, such as felállítás (the act of setting up or lineup) and állítás (a related noun with distinct senses, including assertion).
