Stílusokban

Stílusokban is the inessive plural form of the Hungarian noun stílus, meaning “in styles.” In a wiki context, it denotes the idea that something is expressed, interpreted, or organized through multiple stylistic approaches rather than a single uniform style. The expression is commonly used in criticism, analysis, and description across fields such as literature, film, visual arts, music, fashion, and architecture.

The word stílus originates from Latin stilus and entered Hungarian through Western European languages; the plural is stílusok and the inessive suffix is -ban/-ben, yielding stílusokban for “in styles.” The construction functions as a locative expression within sentences, often paired with verbs of expression, interpretation, or analysis (e.g., “különböző stílusokban tálalva” – presented in different styles).

In practice, stílusokban is used to discuss works or movements that draw on multiple stylistic registers. In literature and film, it may refer to shifts between ironikus, naturalisztikus vagy dadaisztikus elemek. In visual arts and design, it describes blending or juxtaposing historical or regional aesthetics, such as barokk és modernizmus elemei együtt. In music, it can indicate amalgamation of különböző zenei stílusok. In fashion and architecture, it signals references to several historical styles within a single piece or collection.

Usage notes: stílusokban emphasizes plurality and comparative analysis, rather than attributing a single, cohesive style. For a specific style, the singular stílusban or a named style (például klasszikus stílus) is preferred. See also stílus, műfaj, irányzat.
