Termékben

Termékben is the locative form of the Hungarian noun termék, meaning “in the product” or “inside the product.” In Hungarian, the locative case is expressed with the suffixes -ban or -ben, chosen according to vowel harmony. Because termék ends with the front vowel é, the locative singular form is -ben, yielding termékben. The base noun remains unchanged and the suffix is attached directly, without changing its initial consonants. In the plural, the form becomes termékekben (in the products).

Termékben is used to indicate location relative to a product. It is common in contexts such as labeling, packaging, production, and quality control, where it specifies that something is located inside or within the product rather than outside it. The definite article a or a termékek is used before the form as appropriate, but it does not affect the suffix choice.

Examples:

- A termékben található allergén anyagokat a címkén tüntetik fel.

- A termékben megadott összetevők listája a doboz hátoldalán olvasható.

- A termékben rejlő összetevők befolyásolják az ízt és az állagot.

Notes:

- The locative singular form is used for a single product; for multiple products one would say termékekben.

- Termékben is a standard example of how Hungarian uses -ben/-ban to express location within a noun phrase.
