Sörökben

Sörökben is the locative plural form of the Hungarian noun sör (beer). It literally means “in beers” and is used to indicate a location inside beverages when referring to multiple beers. The form can appear in scientific, culinary, or descriptive contexts, for example when discussing substances, microorganisms, or flavor components contained within beers.

Morphology: The word is built from the plural sörök and the locative suffix -ben. In Hungarian, the locative plural generally attaches to the plural stem and follows vowel harmony, so sörökben is the correct form after the plural ending -ök. This pattern is comparable to other locative plural forms such as autókban (in cars).

Usage: Sörökben tends to occur in technical or specialized writing, including brewing, microbiology, or tasting notes, where the inside of beers is the focus. It is less common in everyday speech, but it is fully grammatical and usable wherever the speaker discusses features or phenomena occurring inside beers rather than on their surface or in the surrounding environment. Example sentences include: A sörökben található oldott anyagok koncentrációja változik. A sörökben élő élesztőgombák mennyisége a fermentációs körülményektől függ.
