középtájon

Középtájon is a Hungarian locational expression meaning "in the central part of a landscape or scene." It is formed from the words közép (middle) and táj (landscape) with the locative suffix -on, yielding a postpositional phrase used to specify location within a view or map. In practice, it denotes the central zone of a landscape rather than its edges.

The term is most common in descriptive prose, landscape description, art criticism, and cartographic or geographic writing. It emphasizes centrality and balance in composition and can describe both natural scenery and perceptual fields in photography or painting. It can appear in phrases such as "a középtájon fekvő hegycsoport" or "középtájon elhelyezkedő erdősáv" to indicate that the subject lies in the middle region of the scene.

In linguistic terms, középtájon is a postpositional, location-denoting phrase. It contrasts with terms referring to margins or edges (perem, szél) and is often used to discuss focal points, perspective, and spatial arrangement in a landscape.

Pronunciation and grammar: In Hungarian, the stress typically falls on the first syllable of the word; the form is locative and used in postpositional constructions with verbs or adjectives.
