Láncban

Láncban is a Hungarian locative form of the noun lánc, meaning chain. It literally translates to “in a chain” and is used to indicate that something is located inside or formed by a chain, or that elements are linked in a chain-like sequence. The term can have both a literal and a figurative sense, depending on context.

In everyday language, láncban is used for physical chaining as well as for describing ordered sequences. For example, it can describe objects arranged in a chain, such as beads or pendants: a hosszú láncban lévő gyöngyök (pearls in a long chain). It can also describe a sequence of events or actions that follow one another in a linked order: az események láncban követték egymást.

In mathematics and logic, lánc has a specialized meaning: a chain is a totally ordered set. When used in this sense, láncban can indicate that elements belong to such a chain or that a process is organized in a chain. For instance, egy elemeket tartalmazó részhalmaz egy láncban van may be used to denote membership in a chain.

Etymology and grammar: láncban is formed by adding the locative suffix -ban (or -ben for vowel harmony) to lánc, following standard Hungarian case endings. It is primarily a locative expression and does not function as a standalone verb or adjective. See also: lánc.
