kanyarulataiban

Kanyarulataiban is a Hungarian expression built from the noun kanyarulat, meaning bend or curve, with possessive and locative suffixes. The phrase literally translates to “in its curves” and is used to describe the curved sections of a shape or path, such as a river, road, coastline, or other winding forms. It can also be used metaphorically to refer to a sequence or movement that follows a serpentine course.

Etymology and form: kanyarulat denotes a curve or bend. By adding the possessive ending and the locative case ending, the form kanyarulataiban emerges, indicating location within the curves of a singular object. This construction is typical in Hungarian for specifying where something is situated relative to the curved features of an entity.

Usage: the expression appears in descriptive prose, geography, travel writing, and poetry to convey how something winds or unfolds through its bends. Example: A folyó kanyarulataiban rejtőzik egy kis falu. This translates to “A small village hides in the bends of the river.” The phrase emphasizes spatial relations and can heighten imagery by focusing on curvature rather than a straight line. It is most common with concrete nouns describing physical forms but can also appear in figurative language to evoke complexity or meandering trajectories.
