Légzésben

Légzésben is a Hungarian term formed from the noun légzés (breathing) with the locative suffix -ben. It is used to denote a state or condition associated with respiration and appears primarily in medical, physiological, and anatomical language, though it can also occur in general prose to mean “during breathing” or “in the course of respiration.”

Etymology and grammar: The word combines légzés with the locative suffix -ben, functioning as a noun in the sense of being “in” the process of respiration. It can be part of phrases such as légzésben lévő, which describe something related to or occurring within respiration. It is distinct from expressions like légzés közben (during inhalation) or légzés alatt (during the act of breathing), which specify temporal relations more explicitly.

Usage: In medical records and clinical descriptions, légzésben is used to indicate that observations refer to the state of respiration rather than other functions. For example, a clinician might note that a patient is légzésben van and that the légzésszám (respiratory rate) is within normal limits. The phrase can also appear in discussions of respiratory patterns, disorders, or during assessment of the patient’s stability in the respiratory cycle.
