módszernél

Módszernél is a locative form of the Hungarian noun módszer (method). It marks a location or context related to a method and is used especially in formal, academic, or technical prose to refer to the method as a reference point in a discussion or description.

The form is created by adding the locative suffix -nál/-nél to módszer. The exact suffix vowel follows Hungarian vowel harmony. For example, in a phrase like módszernél alkalmazott eljárások, the meaning is “the procedures applied in relation to the method.” The word thus functions to anchor a statement to the method rather than to a physical place.

Usage of módszernél commonly appears in sentences about procedures, evaluations, or limitations tied to a particular methodological approach. Examples include: "A módszernél felmerült korlátokat ki kellett küszöbölni" (The limitations that arose in relation to the method had to be overcome). The form can also introduce discourse about scope or focus centered on the method, though it is more typical in written, technical contexts than in everyday speech.

Relation to other forms: módszernél contrasts with módszerben (inside the method) and módszerrel (with the method). The dative or genitive forms, such as módszerhez or módszertől, express different grammatical relations (to the method, from the method). Understanding the locative form helps clarify statements about methodological context rather than physical location.
