Mintákban

Mintákban is a Hungarian locative form meaning “in the samples” or “within the samples.” It is formed by the plural noun minták (samples) plus the inessive suffix -ban, indicating location. The suffix follows vowel harmony rules in Hungarian, so -ban is used after back vowels, while -ben would be used after front vowels. In this word, the final suffix is -ban, yielding mintákban.

The term is primarily used in scientific, technical, and analytical contexts to refer to elements, observations, or substances located inside multiple samples. For example, a report might describe measurements taken in the mintákban, or discuss the composition found within the mintákban. It can also appear in more general descriptions of studies or experiments that involve several samples.

In contrast to the singular form mintában (in the sample) or minták (samples), mintákban specifically emphasizes the location inside multiple samples. The construction is productive in Hungarian, so it can be combined with verbs, adjectives, or nouns to describe the state or contents present in the samples, such as mintákban lévő anyagok (materials contained in the samples) or mintákban megfigyelt változások (changes observed in the samples).

Overall, mintákban is a standard grammatical form used to indicate spatial relation to multiple samples in Hungarian texts, particularly in research and reporting contexts.
