Padlókban

Padlókban is a Hungarian locative plural form of the noun padló, meaning “in the floors.” It is used to indicate a location inside or within floor structures, including cavities, conduits, or embedded installations. In architectural, construction, and facility descriptions, padlókban specifies that something lies or occurs within the floors rather than on the surface or in another space.

Grammatically, padlókban combines the plural stem padlók with the locative suffix -ban/-ben. The locative is used with verbs of position or existence, such as van, található, vagy áthalad, to describe where an element is located. For example, “A padlókban elhelyezett vezetékek…” means “the cables installed in the floors…,” and “A padlókban lévő üregek tárolóhelyként szolgálnak” means “the cavities inside the floors serve as storage spaces.” This form is commonly found in technical documentation, building plans, and descriptions of electrical, plumbing, or ventilation systems.

Context and usage notes include that padlókban often highlights internal or concealed aspects of a structure, as opposed to a surface or exterior location. It can be used descriptively for construction, renovation, and safety assessments, as well as in historical or forensic discussions about how spaces were organized within a building’s floor levels.

Translation-wise, padlókban corresponds to “in the floors” in English. Related terms include padló (floor), padlók (floors), and other locative forms such as padlón (on the floor) or padlóról (from the floor), which situate objects relative to different parts of a building.
