Részén

Részén is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun rész, meaning part or portion. It is created from része (its part) by adding the locative suffix -n, yielding részén, which translates roughly as “on its part” or “on its side.” This form is used to indicate a position on a specific part of an object, rather than on the object as a whole.

In usage, részén functions as a postpositional element within a sentence. It is most common in descriptive, technical, or literary contexts, where speakers reference a particular section or area of something. The construction typically accompanies a noun representing the thing that has the part being described; the full sense is similar to saying “on the part of X” or “on X’s part.”

Example sentences (illustrative):

- A fal résén repedt a vakolat. (The plaster cracked on the wall’s part.)

- Az autó karosszériájának résén repedt a festék. (The paint on the car body’s part cracked.)

Because it is a derived form rather than a standalone lexical item, részén often appears within specific, context-driven phrases rather than as an independent word in everyday speech. Related forms include other locative environments such as részen, oldalán, or részein, which use the same principle with different base nouns.
