döntésében

Döntésében is a Hungarian grammatical form rather than a separate lexical entry. It means “in his/her/its decision” or more generally “in its decision,” and it is formed from the noun döntés (decision) combined with the possessive suffix and the inessive case. Specifically, the noun recebe the possessive suffix -e to produce döntése (his/her/its decision), and the inessive suffix -ben attaches to that form to yield döntésében. The result encodes both the possessor and the location or content referred to.

Morphology and construction can be broken down as follows: döntés (decision) + -e (possessive suffix for 3rd person singular) = döntése (his/her/its decision); then -ben (inessive) attached to the possessed noun form yields döntésében, meaning “in his/her/its decision.” Depending on context, the possessor can be explicit from surrounding text (e.g., bíróság döntésében – in the court’s decision) or implied.

Usage notes and typical contexts: döntésében is most common in formal, legal, or administrative Hungarian. It refers to elements contained within the content of a decision rather than the act of deciding itself. It often appears in phrases such as döntésében foglalt feltételek (the conditions contained in the decision), vagy döntésében kifejezett szándék szerint (according to the intention expressed in the decision). The form can be adapted for different possessors and numbers, for example döntéseikben (in their decisions).
