idperiódusban

Idperiódusban is not a standard entry in Hungarian dictionaries. It is a contracted compound formed from idő (time) and periódus (period) with the inessive suffix -ban, and is used in some technical writings to express scope: “in the time period under consideration” or “during the specified interval.” The form is relatively rare and not widely recognized in formal language; in many contexts a fuller form such as időperiódusban or az adott időszakban would be preferred.

Usage and contexts

The term appears in scientific reports, historical studies, and data-analysis documents where delimiting a temporal window is important. It functions as an adverbial or adverbial-phrase element that anchors statements to a particular time interval. Examples in prose might include: “A kísérlet idperiódusban zajlott” (The experiment took place in the time period) and “idperiódusban gyűjtött adatok” (data collected within the time period). Grammatically, it behaves like a location phrase modifying verbs or nouns referring to temporal scope.

Etymology and form

Idperiódusban is a portmanteau-like blend of idő and periódus with the inessive suffix -ban, yielding a compact expression for “in the time period.” It mirrors other Hungarian compounds that compress a temporal meaning into a single adverbial form, though it remains informal and context-dependent. The standard language often prefers explicit phrases such as az adott időszakban or az időkora alatt.

Limitations and recommendations

Because idperiódusban is not universally recognized, its meaning can be unclear outside specific communities. For formal writing, it is advisable to use standard expressions to specify temporal scope. See also időperiódus, időintervallum, időszak.
