forgáson

Forgáson is the locative singular form of the Hungarian noun forgás, which means rotation, turning, or circular motion. In Hungarian grammar, forgás takes the locative suffix -on/-en/-ön to indicate location on a surface or within a process. The form forgáson therefore means “on the rotation” or “at the rotation” and can also carry the sense “in the course of rotation,” depending on the context.

Usage and sense: In technical and scientific writing, forgáson is used when describing phenomena or actions that occur during a rotation, such as on a rotating platform or within a moving system. In everyday language, it appears mainly in longer phrases like forgáson belül (within the rotation), forgáson kívül (outside the rotation), or forgáson át (through the rotation). The exact meaning is context-dependent and relies on surrounding words to convey location, timing, or scope of the rotational event.

Etymology: Forgáson is formed from the noun forgás with the locative suffix -on, following ordinary Hungarian vowel harmony (forgás → forgáson).
