mintázatában

Mintázatában is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun mintázat, meaning pattern or design. It is the inessive case form used to indicate “in its pattern” or “within its pattern,” and it includes the third-person possessive suffix to signal ownership by the noun it refers to. The form is built by combining mintázat with the possessive suffix -a to produce mintázata (its pattern), and then adding the inessive ending -ban/-ben to yield mintázatában.

In usage, mintázatában functions to describe what is found inside the structure, arrangement, or recurring elements of a pattern. It is common in descriptive writing, design analysis, textiles and art criticism, or linguistic discussions about patterns and rules. The phrase can refer to physical surfaces such as fabrics and wallpapers, as well as more abstract patterns, like rhythmic or procedural designs.

Examples:

- A ruha részletes mintázatában apró motívumok rejtőznek. (In the garment’s detailed pattern, small motifs are hidden.)

- A kárpit mintázatában az évszakokra jellemző színek ismétlődnek. (In the upholstery’s pattern, colors typical of the seasons recur.)

- A grafikai mintázatában geometriai szabályok fedezhetők fel. (In the graphic pattern, geometric rules can be found.)
