októberben

In Hungarian, októberben is the adverbial form used to indicate that something happens within October. It is formed by adding the inessive suffix -ben to the month name október, following the general pattern for expressing “in” or “during” a month. The base október derives from the Latin name October and functions as a calendar month, while the suffix marks temporal location.

Usage: Októberben refers to events occurring during October of a specified year or to a timeframe that includes the month. It is common in news reporting, planning, travel, and narrative prose. It maps to the English phrase “in October” and is often preferred for concise temporal framing. For emphasis or stylistic reasons, speakers may instead use longer phrases such as októberi időszakban (“in the October period”).

Examples: A rendezvényt októberben rendezik. (The event will be held in October.) A projekt októberben kezdődik. (The project begins in October.) Októberben az időjárás gyakran változékony. (In October the weather is often variable.)

Notes: The form is one of several Hungarian ways to express time inside a month; others include bare month names in contexts where the time frame is implicit, or adjectives like októberi to describe October-related attributes. The pronunciation places primary stress on the first syllable, with the suffix -ben pronounced as ineszive mood following standard Hungarian phonology.
