Receptekben

Receptekben is a Hungarian locative plural form derived from the noun recept (recipe). It literally means “in recipes” and is used to indicate the context or location where something appears within multiple recipes. As a grammatical form, receptekben combines the plural suffix -ek with the locative suffix -ben, yielding a word that is typically used in descriptive or analytical writing about cooking, culinary texts, or language usage.

Morphology and usage

- recept + ek = receptek (plural)

- receptek + ben = receptekben (in recipes)

This form is contrasted with other related inflected forms, such as receptben (in the recipe, singular) or receptekbe (into recipes). The locative case serves to situate elements within a body of text or within the content of recipes themselves.

Functional role

In practice, receptekben appears in discussions of how ingredients, quantities, or instructions are presented across multiple recipes. It is common in linguistic descriptions, cookbooks, and articles comparing culinary traditions to refer to information that is found “in recipes.” It helps writers distinguish generic statements about cooking from statements about specific sources.
