kultúrában

Kultúrában is a Hungarian locative form meaning “in culture” or “within culture.” It functions as a complement that locates an action, phenomenon, or context within the cultural sphere. As a grammatical form, kultúrában is the locative case of the noun kultúra, formed by adding the suffix -ban to the stem kultúr-. Because kultúra ends with a back vowel, the suffix appears as -ban, yielding the written form kultúrában. When used with a definite article, the common construction is a kultúrában (in the culture).

In usage, kultúrában can denote both a physical location related to culture and a more abstract domain, such as the realm of cultural practices, values, or institutions. It is frequently found in sociolinguistic, anthropological, and literary contexts to discuss how events, behaviors, or traditions relate to culture. Examples include phrases like a kultúrában élő hagyományok (traditions living in culture), a kultúrában rejlő értékek (values embedded in culture), or kultúrában megjelenő nyelvi jelenségek (linguistic phenomena appearing in culture).

Semantically, the expression emphasizes culture as a sphere of influence or a reference frame for analysis, rather than a simple physical location. It can be combined with other terms to form compounds describing cultural phenomena, such as kultúrában zajló események or kultúrában tanult viselkedés. The form is a standard part of Hungarian grammar and appears across academic writing, journalism, and literary works.
