objektumokban

Objektumokban is a Hungarian locative plural form meaning “in the objects.” It is built from the singular noun objektum (object) with the plural suffix -ok to form objektumok, followed by the locative suffix -ban, yielding objektumokban. The choice of -ban rather than -ben follows Hungarian vowel harmony: because the stem’s last vowel is a back vowel, the suffix takes -ban.

In use, objektumokban denotes location inside or within multiple objects. It can refer to physical objects or, in technical contexts, to object instances such as data structures or components in software. The expression is common in descriptive prose, technical writing, and contexts where a spatial or positional relation to several objects is being described. For example: Az adatok objektumokban találhatók. (The data are found in the objects.) A leírás szerint a nátrium- és kalciumionok objektumokban helyezkednek el. (According to the description, sodium and calcium ions are located inside the objects.) In computing, objektumokban is used when speaking about contents stored within objects in object-oriented programming, e.g., “Az adatok objektumokban vannak tárolva.”

Etymology-wise, objektumokban derives from objektum, itself a loanword from Latin objectum, passed into Hungarian through various European languages. Related forms include objektumok (objects), objektumában/objektumában (in the object), and other locative cases such as objektumokban. The term is predominantly used in technical, academic, or descriptive Hungarian.
