matracokban

Matracokban is a Hungarian locative expression meaning “in mattresses” or “inside the mattresses.” It is formed from the noun matrac (mattress) with the plural suffix -ok, and the locative suffix -ban, yielding matracokban. This combination is a standard way in Hungarian to express location inside a plural object.

Grammatical notes: The suffix -ban (or its variant -ben) marks the inessive/locative case and follows vowel harmony rules. In most common uses with back-vowel stems, -ban is chosen, as in matracokban. The phrase functions as a prepositional element indicating location and can be used with other parts of the sentence to describe where something is found or stored. When referring to a single mattress, the singular form matracban is used; matracokban specifically denotes multiple mattresses.

Usage examples: The lost item was found in the mattresses: Az elveszett tárgyat a matracokban találták meg. People stored coins in the mattresses, and the coins were later recovered from the matracokban: A pénzt a matracokban tárolták, és később a matracokban találták meg a pénzt. In everyday language, matracokban often appears in descriptions of storage or concealment, particularly in casual speech or narrative passages.

Relation to other forms: Matracokban is the plural inessive form; for other numbers or cases, different suffixes apply (for example, matracban for one mattress). As a grammatical construction, it is not a proper noun or a concept with its own independent meaning beyond its use as a locative phrase.
