membránjaikban

Membránjaikban is a Hungarian locative possessive construction meaning “in their membranes.” It is formed by the noun membrán (membrane) plus the possessive suffix -jaik (their) and the locative suffix -ban (in), resulting in membránjaikban. The phrase denotes location inside membranes belonging to a plural subject and is common in scientific or descriptive texts when discussing localization within cellular or organellar membranes.

Usage: The construction functions as a prepositional phrase that can modify a verb or a noun, indicating where something is located. Example: "Az élő sejtek membránjaiban számos fehérje található." In other contexts, the phrase may appear as part of a longer sentence describing processes occurring within membranes.

Grammatical notes: The sequence membrán + -jaik + -ban reflects standard Hungarian suffixation for a third-person plural possessor and the locative case. The phrase requires a plural subject to refer to membranes possessed by that subject.

Etymology and context: It is a plain compound formed through regular suffixation, not a separate lexical item. It is primarily encountered in biology and linguistically similar contexts.
