csökkentésében

Csökkentésében is a form that appears in Hungarian grammar, derived from the noun csökkentés (reduction, decrease) combined with the inessive suffix -ben/-ben. The resulting form is used in noun phrases to indicate a context of reducing something, often functioning as an adverbial or prepositional element within a sentence. In practice, csökkentésében can express “in reducing” or, depending on surrounding words, “in the reduction of” a given object or phenomenon.

Usage and interpretation

The primary use of csökkentésében is to refer to the act or process of reducing within a specified domain. It frequently occurs in formal or academic Hungarian when describing policies, programs, or projects aimed at lowering a certain quantity. Example (Hungarian): A kormány intézkedéseket hozott az energiafelhasználás csökkentésében. Translation: The government took measures in reducing energy consumption. Another example: Az energiafelhasználás csökkentésében elért előrelépések a program sikerét mutatják. Translation: The progress achieved in reducing energy consumption demonstrates the program’s success.

Grammatical notes

Csökkentésében is a derived form and relies on context to supply the exact possessor or target of reduction. It can appear with different surrounding nouns to specify what is being reduced or whose reduction is being discussed. In many cases, the full meaning—such as “the reduction of X” or “in reducing X”—is clarified by additional words in the sentence, or by using the corresponding possessive forms (e.g., csökkentésének csökkentésében) if a specific possessor must be highlighted.
