feltételekben

Feltételekben is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from the singular feltétel “condition, term” with the plural feltételek and the inessive suffix -ben, yielding “in the conditions” or “under the conditions.” It is used to indicate location or context within a specified set of conditions. The form is common in formal, legal, contractual, administrative, and methodological writing, where actions, rights, or obligations are described as existing or being valid within the stated conditions.

Usage and meaning

Feltételekben describes the situational framework in which something occurs or is valid. It emphasizes the conditions themselves as the governing context. It is often contrasted with phrases like feltételek szerint (“according to the conditions”) or feltételeket teljesíteni (“to meet the conditions”). While feltételek refers to the conditions as a concept, feltételekben situates actions or rules inside those conditions.

Grammar notes

Feltételekben is the plural inessive form of feltétel. The choice between feltételekben and feltételek szerint depends on whether the speaker wants to locate the matter inside the conditions (ben) or refer to compliance with or according to the conditions (szerint). In compound expressions, feltételekben is often combined with verbs like meghatározott, leírt, teljesített, or rögzített.
