Szakaszán

Szakaszán is a Hungarian locative form of the noun szakasz, which means a section, segment, or phase. It is used to indicate location on or along a particular part of a larger object, system, or process. The form appears in writing and speech when the speaker wants to specify a specific segment rather than the whole.

In practice, szakaszán can be found in contexts such as infrastructure, planning, and descriptive prose. It often conveys the idea of being located on a defined portion of something, rather than merely somewhere inside or near it. Because it is a precise, technical-feeling form, it is common in reports, manuals, and descriptions of sequences or routes.

Examples:

- A vasútvonal szakaszán felújítást végeznek. (Renovation is being carried out on the railway line segment.)

- Az út szakaszán figyelmeztető jelzéseket helyeztek el. (Warning signs have been placed on the section of the road.)

- A projekt szakaszán dolgozó csapat határidőt tűzött ki. (The team working on the project phase has set a deadline.)

Nuance-wise, szakaszán emphasizes a defined part within a larger whole and can contrast with more general locatives like szakaszban (in the section) or a szakasz során (during the section/phase). It is a standard term in Hungarian for precise, segment-focused descriptions.
