Lefutásban

Lefutásban is a Hungarian adverbial phrase that derives from the noun lefutás (the act of running or executing) and the locative suffix -ban, meaning “in the running” or “in the execution phase.” The expression is used to indicate that a process, program, experiment, or sequence is currently under way or in progress.

Etymology and sense

Lefutás is formed from the verb lefutni, which can mean to run to completion, to execute, or to run through a process. The suffix -ban attaches to denote position in relation to the ongoing action. Consequently, lefutásban communicates a status: the run or execution is active, not yet completed.

Usage and contexts

The term is common in technical and scientific contexts, particularly in computing, simulations, and process monitoring, but it can appear in broader domains where processes are described as underway. It emphasizes the current phase of a run or execution rather than its final outcome. In everyday language, speakers may prefer expressions such as “futásban van” (is running) or “folyamatban van” (is in progress), but lefutásban remains appropriate when highlighting the run as a discrete, repeatable event or cycle.

Examples

- A szimuláció lefutásban van, és a végeredmény hamarosan elérhető lesz.

- A kísérlet lefutásban van; az adatok gyűjtése éppen zajlik.

Related terms

- lefutás, futás, futási idő, lefutási idő, szimuláció futása. See also: futás, futtatás, végrehajtás.

Notes

Lefutásban is primarily a technical phrase; its precise nuance depends on context, but it consistently marks the ongoing phase of a run or execution.
