mérésében

Mérésében is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “in its measurement” or, more broadly, “within its measurement.” It is not a stand-alone lexical item but a morphological construction built from the noun mérés (measurement) combined with possessive and locative suffixes to express location or containment related to measurement.

Formation and function

The form is created by taking mérés and applying the 3rd-person possessive suffix, yielding mérése (its/her/his measurement), and then adding the locative suffix -ben to indicate location: mérésében. The result is used to refer to something that lies within or is defined by a particular measurement or set of measurements. In formal or technical prose, mérésében can function as an adverbial or part of a noun phrase describing where an attribute or effect occurs.

Usage notes

- Mérésében is typically found in technical, scientific, or data-centered writing, where precise reference to measurement contexts is needed.

- It answers a locational or contextual question related to measurement, for example: “A mérésében rejlő bizonytalanságokat figyelembe kell venni” — “The uncertainties inherent in its measurement must be taken into account.”

- The form is related to other locative possessive constructions in Hungarian, such as adatában (in its data) or példájában (in its example), and illustrates how Hungarian combines nominal roots with possessive and locative suffixes to convey nuanced relationships.

Relation to other forms

Mérésében contrasts with mérés (measurement) as a standalone noun and with mérési (adjectival) forms that describe measurement-related properties rather than indicating location within a measurement. It exemplifies Hungarian’s productive use of suffixal morphology to express complex relationships without auxiliary words.
