millióban

Millióban is a Hungarian word that translates to "in the millions" in English. It is the locative case of the Hungarian word "millió," which means "million." The locative case in Hungarian typically denotes location or position, indicating "in" or "at" a particular place or quantity. Therefore, "millióban" signifies being within a multitude of millions, suggesting a very large or countless number.

The phrase can be used in various contexts to describe quantities, amounts, or even abstract concepts that are exceptionally large. For instance, it might be used in economic discussions to refer to money in the millions, such as "Az ország gazdasága milliárdokban, nem csak millióban mérhető" (The country's economy is measured in billions, not just millions). It can also be employed metaphorically to describe a vast collection of something, like stars in the sky or grains of sand on a beach, where an exact count is impossible, and the quantity is understood to be immense. The grammatical structure of Hungarian, with its case endings, allows for such specific expressions of quantity and location.
