Státuszban

Státuszban is a Hungarian locative form derived from the noun státusz (status). It literally means “in a status” and is used to indicate that a person, object, or entity currently occupies a particular status or classification within a system, organization, or context. The locative suffix -ban is added to the stem in accordance with Hungarian vowel harmony; in this case, since the stem’s last vowel is a back vowel, the form is -ban, yielding státuszban.

In usage, státuszban is common in formal, administrative, legal, IT, and business language when referring to the present state or classification of something within a system. It denotes a current standing rather than a physical location. Examples of its use include statements about the state of projects, accounts, documents, or user accounts, such as a project being in a certain status or a account being in an active status.

Related terms and nuances: státusz emphasizes standing within a defined system or role, often in contrast to more general terms like állapot (state or condition). It is particularly prevalent in modern Hungarian in professional, organizational, and digital contexts, including references to user roles, project phases, or service states. The word is a loan from Latin via English and has become a standard part of contemporary Hungarian vocabulary.
