Funkcióknál

Funkcióknál is a plural locative form of the noun funkció. The base szó funkció means function, role or purpose, and it is widely used in mathematics, computer science and linguistics. The locative plural suffix -knál/-knél marks location or context, roughly translating to “at the functions” or “in relation to the functions.” In Hungarian, funkcióknál appears mainly in technical or academic texts to discuss properties or phenomena connected with more than one function.

In mathematics and computer science, funkció can refer to a rule that assigns outputs to inputs (in mathematics) or a reusable block of code that performs a task (in programming). The form funkcióknál is used when the discussion concerns multiple functions or analyzes that pertain to the function level. For example, a text might note that “különböző funkcióknál eltérő viselkedés figyelhető meg,” meaning that different functions exhibit different behavior. In programming documentation, one might encounter formulations that compare performance or behavior “funkcióknál”—that is, at the level of individual functions or functional units.

Usage and nuance: funkcióknál signals a contextual focus on several functions or on the function level as a domain. It contrasts with singular forms like funkciónál, which would refer to a single function. The term is most common in technical writing and academic arguments rather than everyday speech.

See also: funkció, függvény, funkcionális. The word reflects Hungarian terminology for concepts related to purpose, mapping and code blocks, and its locative form enables precise discussion of function-level phenomena.
