mérpontnál

Mérpontnál is a Hungarian locative phrase used to indicate the location where measurements are taken. Formed from mérpont, a term meaning “measurement point,” with the locative suffix -nál, it functions as an adverbial expression in technical and scientific writing to specify where data are collected.

Etymology and form: the base term mérpont is a compound of mér (to measure) and pont (point). The suffix -nál marks location, producing mérpontnál to mean “at the measurement point.” In sentences, it typically operates as a temporal-free spatial modifier, often accompanied by nouns or verbs describing the measurement action or instrument.

Usage: mérpontnál appears predominantly in technical documents, field notes, laboratory protocols, and scientific reports. It answers the question where regarding a measurement and can be combined with descriptors or participles, e.g., a mérpontnál elhelyezett szenzor (the sensor placed at the measurement point) or mérpontnál mért értékek (values measured at the measurement point). It does not convey time or method by itself, but specifies location within a measurement context.
