Szinteken

Szinteken is the locative plural form of the Hungarian noun szint, which means level, floor, tier, or stage. The phrase szinteken is used to indicate location on multiple levels or across different levels within a structure or system, for example in a building, a hierarchy, or a multi-level arrangement. In English this corresponds to “on the levels” or “across the levels.”

Grammatical notes: The word szintek forms the plural nominative as szintek. To express location on those levels, the locative plural suffix -en (or -ön, depending on vowel harmony) is added, yielding szinteken. This form emphasizes spatial placement across several levels rather than at a single level (szinten) or on a single level within a group (a szinteken, with a).

Usage: Szinteken is commonly found in phrases describing distribution, access, or organization across multiple levels. Typical collocations include különböző szinteken (on different levels), a szinteken található (located on the levels), and közlekedés a szinteken (movement across the levels).

Examples:

- Az irodahelyiségek a szinteken találhatók. (The office spaces are located on the levels.)

- A kiállítások különböző szinteken kerülnek bemutatásra. (The exhibits are presented on different levels.)

- A látogatók a szinteken keresztül jutnak el a kiállításokhoz. (Visitors reach the exhibits via the levels.)

Szinteken is used beyond architecture, for example to describe multi-level processes, hierarchies, or categorization schemes where elements are spread across several levels. It should not be confused with szintiben vagy a szinten, which refer to singular level contexts.
