Mozgásán

Mozgásán is a grammatical form in Hungarian. It represents the adessive singular of the noun mozgás (movement) and is used to indicate location or a temporal relation connected with the movement of a subject. In practice, it often appears in formal, technical, or descriptive prose where the motion of an object, device, or body part is being discussed.

Form and usage

The form is produced by adding the adessive suffix to the noun mozgás, resulting in mozgásán. It denotes “on its movement,” “at the movement,” or “during the movement,” depending on the context. The adessive serves to relate observations or actions to the movement of something rather than to the entity itself.

Examples

A gép mozgásán bekövetkező rezgés figyelhető meg. (Vibration occurring during the machine’s movement can be observed.)

A kar mozgásán végzett mérések pontosabbak lehetnek. (Measurements taken during the arm’s movement may be more precise.)

Notes

In everyday Hungarian, more common ways to express related temporal or spatial sense are mozgás során or mozgás közben. The form mozgásán is most often found in technical, biomechanical, or descriptive contexts and can otherwise appear as a specialized or stylistic choice. Additionally, mozgásának is the genitive form meaning “of its movement,” while mozgásán is adessive and locationally oriented.
