Mátrixba

Mátrixba is the Hungarian directional or locative form of the noun mátrix (matrix). It is created by adding the suffix -ba to mátrix, signalling movement toward the interior of a matrix or placement into it. In Hungarian, -ba marks direction toward a location and is used with verbs of motion or placement.

Usage and meaning: Mátrixba denotes the action of putting something into a matrix or inserting it within a matrix. It is commonly used in mathematical, numerical, or computer-science contexts to describe data entry, row or column insertion, or other operations that result in contents being placed inside a matrix. The form is contrasted with mátrixban, which means “in the matrix” (static location).

Examples:

- Az adatokat a mátrixba rögzítették. (The data were entered/recorded into the matrix.)

- Kérlek, írd be a számokat a mátrixba. (Please enter the numbers into the matrix.)

Grammatical notes: Mátrixba is one of several Hungarian case forms; mátrixban means “in the matrix,” while mátrixba emphasizes motion toward the interior. The word mátrix itself is borrowed from Latin matrix, used widely in mathematics and computing to denote a rectangular array of numbers or symbols.

Context: While the concept of a matrix is mathematical, mátrixba as a word form concerns language and grammar as much as it does practical description of matrix-related actions. It appears in instructional texts, programming, and mathematical documentation when specifying actions performed on matrices.

Etymology and related forms: The root mátrix comes from Latin matrix; related Hungarian forms include mátrixban (in the matrix) and other suffix-based derivatives that express direction, location, or other relationships with the matrix. See also Hungarian grammar and matrix terminology.
