Parlamentekben

Parlamentekben is a Hungarian word form meaning "in parliaments." It results from the noun parlament ("parliament") plus the plural suffix -ek and the locative suffix -ben, creating a single word that marks location inside multiple parliaments or inside the institution of parliament in general. In standard usage, it appears in phrases such as parlamentekben zajló viták ("debates taking place in parliaments").

In linguistic descriptions, parlamentekben is an example of how Hungarian combines number and case to encode spatial information. In political science and discourse studies, the term is sometimes used, metaphorically or illustratively, to refer to the activities that occur inside parliamentary institutions—such as deliberation by committees, plenary sessions, and party negotiations—that shape lawmaking, as distinct from executive or judicial settings.

Usage notes: The form is primarily encountered in Hungarian-language materials. Outside Hungary, the word is rarely used as a stand-alone term, though it may appear in bilingual glossaries or comparative studies of locative constructions. As with other location expressions, parlamentekben can be complemented by modifiers to indicate more specific locations, such as in the parliaments of a country or in the parliament buildings.
