fázisában

Fázisában is a Hungarian word-formation form meaning “in its phase” or “in the phase of it.” It is a compound formed from the noun fázis (phase) with the possessive suffix for the third person singular and the inessive (locative) suffix. The underlying sequence is fázis + a (possessive) + ban (inessive), producing fázisában. This construction is typical in Hungarian for referring to the current stage or phase of a previously mentioned entity.

Morphology and formation are key to understanding fázisában. The root fázis receives the possessive ending -a to indicate “its phase,” yielding fázisa. The inessive suffix -ban is then attached, with vowel harmony applied, giving fázisában. Thus, the form explicitly ties the phase to a referenced subject, conveying that the discussion concerns the phase that belongs to that subject.

Usage and meaning. Fázisában is used in technical, scientific, or formal discourse to denote the phase within a larger process that is attributable to a specific object or entity. It contrasts with fázisban, which simply means “in a phase” without possessive reference. For example, “A projekt fázisában van” means “The project is in its phase,” i.e., it is currently in the phase belonging to that project. The phrase can be extended with embedding nouns, e.g., “a fázisában lévő projekt” (“the project in its phase”).
