Tonnákban

Ton­nákban is a Hungarian phrase meaning “in tonnes” and is used to express quantities in metric tons. In Hungary and many European contexts, the standard unit of mass is the tonne (tonne), equal to 1,000 kilograms. The plural form is tonnák, and the locative ending -ban appears in phrases such as tonnákban kifejezve or tonnákban mérve to indicate the unit of measurement.

One tonne equals 1,000 kilograms; the symbol is t. Some international data may be reported in other ton units: the short ton (US ton) equals 907.18474 kilograms, and the long ton (imperial ton) equals 1,016.0469088 kilograms. When data are given tonnákban, they are expressed in metric tons, rather than in short or long tons.

Tonnes are widely used in industry, mining, agriculture, energy, logistics, and environmental statistics. Reports may present production, consumption, emissions, or waste amounts tonnákban. The phrase tonnákban helps ensure consistent interpretation across contexts that use the metric system and SI units.

Origin: the term tonne comes from French; in Hungarian, tonna is the form of the unit and tonnákban is the locative plural formed to indicate amounts expressed in tonnes. In official statistics within Hungary and the European Union, quantities are commonly reported tonnákban, reflecting the prevalence of the metric system. See also tonne, ton, mass unit.
