Jelentésekben

Jelentésekben is a Hungarian grammatical form built from the noun jelentés, which can mean meaning, sense, report, or statement depending on context. The locative plural form significates location “in the reports” or “in the meanings.” In practice, jelentésekben is most often used to refer to information or content found within multiple reports or within various senses of a term.

Grammatical notes: jelentésekben consists of the plural stem jelentések plus the locative plural ending ben, chosen according to vowel harmony and standard rules of Hungarian case marking. This form is used when the speaker wants to indicate something located inside or within the plural noun’s scope, such as data, conclusions, or interpretations contained in several documents or interpretations of a word.

Common usage and examples:

- A jelentésekben talált adatok megerősítik a következtetéseket. (The data found in the reports/interpretations strengthen the conclusions.)

- Különböző jelentésekben eltérő jelentésrétegek találhatók. (In different meanings/senses there are different layers of sense.)

- A jelentésekben összefoglalt megállapítások alapján hozták meg a döntést. (Based on the conclusions summarized in the reports.)

Etymology and nuance: jelentés derives from jelenteni, meaning to signify or to report. The meaning of jelentésekben therefore depends on whether jelentés is interpreted as “report/document” or “meaning/sense,” which affects the translation of the phrase in a given sentence.
