Lépésében

Lépésében is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun lépés (step). It represents a locative possessive construction meaning “in his/her/its step.” The form is created by adding the third-person possessive suffix to lépés, producing lépése, and then attaching the locative suffix -ben, with the vowel harmony producing the final form lépésében. In usage, lépésében denotes a location inside or within a particular step, either literally (as in movement or gait) or figuratively (as part of a description of how someone moves).

In function, lépésében functions as a noun phrase with locative meaning. It can describe movement in physical terms, such as gait or rhythm, or be used poetically to discuss the character or manner of walking. Because it relies on a possessive determiner, the phrase typically refers to a specified subject (for example, “his step” or “her step”) rather than a generic step.

Lépésében is part of a broader pattern in Hungarian where locative possessive forms express spatial or figurative location, and it has close parallels with forms such as fejében (in his/her mind) or szívében (in his/her heart). The plural counterpart would be lépésekben (in steps), used when referring to multiple steps or stepping movements.
