márkán

Márkán is the locative singular form of the Hungarian noun márka, meaning "brand" or "mark." It denotes location on a surface or within branding materials and is used in contexts where the brand or its markings are described as being on something. In standard Hungarian grammar, márka is borrowed from German Marke, and the locative singular is formed with the suffix -n, yielding márkán.

The form is primarily used in technical or branding-related discourse, such as product labeling, packaging guidelines, or visual-identity descriptions, to indicate that a mark or information is placed on the brand or on a surface associated with the brand. It is distinct from related cases such as the inessive márkában (in the brand) and the allative márkára (onto the brand).

Notes on usage and related forms: the locative márkán is one of several cases used to describe spatial relations with a brand. Other cases help specify different relationships to the brand, such as being inside the brand (márkában) or moving toward the brand (márkára). The term is most commonly encountered in branding, marketing, and linguistic descriptions of Hungarian morphology.
