fizetésben

Fizetésben is the inessive (locative) form of the Hungarian noun fizetés, which means salary or payment. In Hungarian, the -ben suffix marks the inessive case and is used to indicate location or reference within a noun phrase. As a form, fizetésben functions as a grammatical case ending rather than a standalone lexical item.

The most common use of fizetésben appears in fixed expressions with the verb részesül, meaning to receive or to be entitled to something. In such constructions, fizetésben means “in salary” or, more idiomatically, the idea of receiving a salary. Examples include phrases like fizetésben részesül (to receive a salary).

Examples:

A dolgozó fizetésben részesül.

A munkavállaló rendszeres fizetésben részesül.

Fizetés is the standard Hungarian term for wages or salary. It is related to burs or earnings terms such as bér or jövedelem, but those terms carry different nuances and usage. The form fizetésben is not typically used alone; it appears in specific collocations and grammatical constructions, most notably with részesül.

Etymology and morphology:

Fizetés is derived from the verb fizetni (to pay) with the noun-forming suffix -és, yielding the act or result of paying. The inessive ending -ben then attaches to form fizetésben, indicating “in the salary” as part of a larger predication or clause.
