Gyakorlatában

Gyakorlatában is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from gyakorlat (practice, exercise; also meaning professional practice or customary procedures) with possessive and locative affixes, yielding the sense “in its practice” or “in the practice of (someone or something).” The base gyakorlat covers both a concrete exercise and the more abstract notion of habitual procedures or a field of activity. The form gyakorlatában therefore refers to the practices, rules, or routines associated with a particular agent, such as a company, a profession, or an institution.

In use, gyakorlatában is common in formal or written Hungarian to describe how something is done according to the practices of a given entity. For example: “A vállalat gyakorlatában a szerződések írásban történnek” meaning “In the company’s practice, contracts are done in writing.” “Az orvosi gyakorlatban a protokoll szerint járnak el” meaning “In medical practice, they proceed according to the protocol.” In many contexts, the simpler form “gyakorlatban” is used to mean “in practice” in a general sense, without reference to a specific possessor.

Etymology: gyakorlat is a noun derived from the verb meaning to practice or perform, with nominalizing affixes forming the substantive sense of practice, which then takes possessive and locative endings to yield gyakorlatában.
