jármben

Jármben is a nonstandard spelling of the Hungarian locative phrase meaning “in the vehicle.” The correct standard form is járműben, where jármű means vehicle and the locative suffix -ben marks location inside the vehicle. The term belongs to Hungarian noun morphology and illustrates how locative cases express spatial relations.

Form and usage: The base noun jármű forms locative by adding -ben: jármű + ben -> járműben. The word refers to the interior or interior space of any vehicle, including cars, buses, trains, boats, and aircraft. It is used in contexts such as traffic reports, accident descriptions, travel notes, or safety instructions to denote location inside the vehicle.

Examples using the standard form include: “Az utas a járműben ült.” and “A sofőr a járműben tartózkodik.” These illustrate typical usage in describing where someone sits or stays within a vehicle.

In informal writing you may encounter jármben, but it is generally considered nonstandard and should be avoided in formal text.
