körzetben

Körzetben is a Hungarian locative form of the noun körzet, meaning “in the district” or “within the area.” The term is used to indicate location inside a defined administrative, electoral, or geographical unit and is common in official texts, media, and everyday language. The suffix -ben is the inessive case marker for locations expressed in Hungarian, and it follows standard vowel harmony rules (körzet + -ben → körzetben).

Grammatically, körzetben functions as a location phrase that can modify verbs or be part of noun phrases describing place. It is used with a definite sense of boundaries, such as a city district, a municipal area, or an electoral district. Examples include “A körzetben élők száma közel tízezer” (The number of people in the district is close to ten thousand) and “A választási körzetben változások történtek” (Changes occurred in the electoral district).

Usage notes: körzetben typically refers to being inside the borders of a specific körzet, rather than merely nearby. It can appear in demographic statistics, local government documents, or news reporting about services and infrastructure within a district. Related terms include körzet (district/zone) itself, és választási körzet (electoral district).

See also: körzet, választási körzet, körzeti hivatal. The concept is widespread in Hungarian administrative and geographic language, where körzetek are common units for organizing governance, elections, and public services.
