Textúrájukban

Textúrájukban is a Hungarian inflected form formed from the noun textúra (texture) with the third-person plural possessive suffix -juk and the locative suffix -ban, meaning “in their textures” or “in their texture,” depending on context. The typical order in Hungarian is root + possessive suffix + case suffix, so textúra + júk + ban becomes textúrájukban. The form reflects that the possessors are a group and that the location is inside or within the texture associated with that group.

Morphology and usage

The base noun textúra denotes surface quality, pattern, or structure of a material or object. By adding -juk, the speaker marks ownership by a plural subject. The subsequent -ban marks the locative case, indicating location or position inside that texture. In practice, textúrájukban is used in descriptive, analytical, or academic prose to discuss features found within the textures belonging to a group. For example: A textúrájukban rejlő részleteket vizsgálják, which translates to “They study the details hidden in their textures.”

Etymology

Textúra is a loanword in Hungarian, commonly traced to Latin textūra (and related European forms such as texture). The possessive and locative suffixes are native Hungarian agglutinations, added in accordance with standard noun phrase morphology. The combination textúrájukban is thus a straightforward illustration of Hungarian suffixation: texture + their + in.

Notes

The exact referent (singular vs. plural texture) is determined by context and the surrounding nouns (for example, textúrák vs. textúra). In most descriptive contexts, textúrájukban serves to specify that something lies within textures associated with a particular group.
