helybentartózkodás

Helybentartózkodás is a Hungarian term formed from hely (place) and tartózkodás (stay). It is used primarily in formal or administrative language to refer to the act of remaining at a particular place or being present there. The expression is closely related to tartózkodási hely, which denotes the place where a person is currently staying for legal or administrative purposes.

Usage and contexts: The term appears mainly in bureaucratic texts, forms, and regulatory documents where it is necessary to specify a person’s current place of stay. It can be involved in descriptions of residency requirements, registration, taxation, or social security matters, where authorities need to know where the person is physically staying at a given time. In everyday practice, many writers prefer more common terms such as tartózkodási hely or helyi tartózkodás.

Variants and nuance: Some sources treat helybentartózkodás as a stylistic variant of tartózkodás, while others consider it a more specific expression indicating presence at a particular place. The standard and more widely used counterpart is tartózkodási hely, which emphasizes the location more than the act of staying.
