kerületben

Kerületben is the locative form of kerület, the Hungarian word for district. It literally means “in the district” and is used to indicate that something is located inside a city district. The form is kerület + -ben, which follows Hungarian vowel harmony (kerületben).

A kerület is an administrative subdivision of a city in Hungary. In many cities, local government is organized around kerületek. Budapest, for example, is divided into 23 kerületek. The term is widely used in maps, addresses, media, and everyday speech to describe location within a district.

Usage notes: When referring to a specific district, the definite article is commonly used, for example “a kerületben” (in the district) or with a district number or name, such as “az 5. kerületben” (in the 5th district of Budapest). The form also appears with verbs of location, e.g., “Az iskola a kerületben van” (The school is in the district).

Examples: A kerületben számos park és templom található. Az Országház a 5. kerületben található. The sentence patterns shown illustrate how kerületben functions in daily Hungarian to indicate internal location within a city’s district.
