képeknél

Képeknél is a Hungarian locative plural form of the noun kép (picture), meaning “at the pictures” or “by the pictures.” It marks location and is used when referring to multiple pictures in space or relative position. The form combines the plural stem képek with the locative suffix -nál/-nél, with the choice of suffix guided by vowel harmony. Since képek ends with a front vowel, the correct form is képeknél.

Morphology and related forms: In Hungarian, the locative case signals where something is located. For the singular, the form would be kép-nél (at the picture); for the plural, it is képek-nél, yielding képeknél in standard spelling. The phrase a képeknél means “at the pictures” and can appear with or without other elements of a noun phrase, depending on sentence structure. The locative suffix often accompanies verbs of position and location, such as található (is located) or van (is).

Usage and examples: The expression is common in contexts such as museums, galleries, classrooms, or any scenario describing the position of pictures relative to people or objects. Examples include: A kiállításon a képeknél található a tájékoztató felirat. vagy A látogatók a képeknél gyülekeztek, hogy megbeszéljék a kiállítást. These illustrate how képeknél situates events or objects in relation to the pictures themselves.
