Mellkasban

Mellkasban is a Hungarian locative form derived from mellkas, meaning the chest or thorax. The word conveys the sense of being located inside the chest, i.e., within the thoracic cavity. It is formed by adding the inessive suffix -ban (or -ben after consonant stems), giving mellkasban for “in the chest.”

In usage, mellkasban appears in both everyday language and medical or anatomical descriptions to indicate position or occurrence within the chest. For example, it can be used in sentences such as “A szív a mellkasban található,” meaning “The heart is located in the chest,” or “A fájdalom a mellkasban jelentkezik,” meaning “The pain occurs in the chest.”

Mellkasban is part of a broader set of Hungarian locative forms that express various directional and positional relations. Related forms include mellkasból (from the chest), mellkasba (into the chest), mellkasban (in the chest), and mellkasról (about or from the chest). The base noun mellkas denotes the chest or thorax, encompassing both anatomical and everyday usage contexts.

Summary: mellkasban is the in-the-chest locative form used to specify that something is located inside the chest, commonly employed in anatomical, medical, and descriptive language within Hungarian.
