otthonukban

Otthonukban is a Hungarian locative phrase meaning "in their home" or "in their own home." It is formed by combining the noun otthon ("home"), the possessive suffix -uk ("their"), and the locative suffix -ban, yielding otthonukban as a single word that indicates location belonging to a group of people.

Grammatical notes: -uk indicates third-person plural possession, attached to otthon to form "their home" (otthonuk). The locative -ban attaches to the whole possessed noun to express location: "in their home." The result otthonukban is used in both spoken and written language to specify that something occurs inside the home of the people referenced.

Usage: Example sentences include:

- Szeretnének otthonukban maradni. (They would like to stay in their own home.)

- A család otthonukban rendet tart. (The family keeps things in order at home.)

- Otthonukban minden megvan, amire szükségük van. (In their home there is everything they need.)

Related forms: other possessive locatives exist, such as otthonában ("in his/her/its home") and otthonunkban ("in our home"). The base noun can take different possessive suffixes and locative endings to express different persons and numbers.
