jelentségen

Jelentségen is a Hungarian locative form derived from the noun jelentés. In Hungarian, jelentés commonly means either a report or document, or a meaning, significance, depending on context. The locative function of jelentségen is to indicate a location related to that noun, typically pointing to something that appears on or within a report or text. The form is primarily encountered in written, formal, or technical language, and it appears in grammars and corpora as a case variant of jelentés.

The regular locative suffix in Hungarian is -en (in many stems), and jelentés forms a locative that is usually rendered as jelentésen in standard modern usage. The spelling jelentségen is less common and is often attributed to historical spelling practices, dialectal variation, or specific editorial conventions. Because of these variations, many writers prefer more transparent phrases such as a jelentésben (in the report) or a jelentésen belül (within the report) when expressing location inside a document.

Usage and nuances: jelentségen functions as a grammatical tool to situate information relative to a document or its content. In practice, speakers and writers tend to favor clear constructions like “a jelentésben,” “a jelentésen belül,” or “a jelentésen kifüggesztett adatok szerint.” The form is most likely to appear in formal descriptions, linguistic discussions, archival notes, or legal-administrative texts where precise referring to a document’s location is important.
