méréseken

Méréseken is a Hungarian grammatical form that serves as the locative plural of the noun mérés, meaning measurement. In standard Hungarian, the common plural is mérések, while méréseken marks the location or context of measurement activities, roughly translating to “on the measurements” or “at the measurements” in English.

Usage and examples: It appears in scientific and technical writing when the sentence concerns measurements themselves rather than the results. The form can combine with adjectives and verbs to create phrases such as méréseken alapuló adatok (data based on the measurements), méréseken belüli variációk (variations within the measurements), or méréseken végzett vizsgálatok (studies conducted on the measurements).

Formation: The plural stem mérések takes the locative plural suffix -en to yield méréseken. The construction is characteristic of Hungarian noun inflection and is most common in formal registers. In everyday language, speakers often use alternative phrasing to avoid the locative plural, such as referring to “a mérés adatai” or “a méréseknél” depending on the intended meaning.
