homlokon

Homlokon is a Hungarian locative form of the noun homlok, meaning the forehead. It is created by adding the suffix -on to indicate position on a surface. In everyday language it marks a location on the forehead and is used in medical, descriptive, and general contexts to describe where something is located, occurs, or affects the forehead.

The form is commonly found in sentences describing physical state or injury, such as where a wound or sensation is located. For example, A seb a homlokon van (The wound is on the forehead). The possessive variant with -án/-én on the noun shows contact with or ownership relative to a person, as in A beteg homlokán látszik a duzzanat (The swelling is visible on the patient’s forehead).

Related terms and concepts include homlok (forehead) and the broader set of Hungarian locative forms formed with -on/-en/-ön, which mark location on surfaces. The use of homlokon illustrates how Hungarian relies onpostpositional suffixes rather than prepositional phrases to indicate spatial relations.
