megtételében

The term *megtételében* is a Hungarian grammatical construction used primarily in written and formal contexts. It is derived from the preposition *meg-* (meaning "through," "by," or "in the process of") combined with the possessive suffix *-tétel* (from the noun *tétel*, meaning "statement," "proposition," or "item"), followed by the possessive suffix *-ében* (indicating the locative case, often translated as "in" or "within").

In Hungarian, the phrase is typically employed in legal, administrative, or technical writing to refer to a specific clause, provision, or item within a larger document or framework. For example, one might say *"a szerződés 3. megtételében"* ("in clause 3 of the contract") to indicate a particular section of an agreement. The construction emphasizes precision and clarity, ensuring unambiguous reference to a specific part of a structured text.

The locative suffix *-ében* is often used to denote a spatial, temporal, or conceptual relationship, and in this case, it highlights the context *within* which the *tétel* (clause or item) operates. While *megtétel* itself can mean "proposition" or "statement," the locative form *megtételében* is more commonly encountered in formal documents, such as contracts, laws, or technical specifications.

This construction is distinct from simpler possessive forms like *a szerződés tételében* ("in the clause of the contract"), where the noun *tétel* stands alone. The inclusion of *meg-* adds a nuanced layer, sometimes implying a process or a formalized act of presenting or establishing the clause. However, in everyday usage, *megtételében* is primarily a stylistic choice to enhance clarity in technical or legal discourse.
