Pályákon

Pályákon is the locative plural form of the Hungarian noun pálya, meaning track, course, or path. The form is used to indicate location on multiple tracks or courses and can refer to physical facilities such as running tracks, ski slopes, or railway lines, as well as to figurative paths in activities or fields of study.

Grammatical notes: pálya combines with the plural suffix -k to form pályák, and the locative suffix -on/-en/-ön attaches to that stem, yielding pályákon. This construction is used when describing something that is located on several tracks or courses.

For instance, "A pályákon futók gyorsan haladnak" means "On the tracks, the runners are moving quickly." "A sípályákon sokan síelnek" translates to "Many people ski on the ski slopes." Another example: "A pályákon elhelyezett jelzések segítik a versenyzőket" – "The signs placed on the tracks help the competitors."
