percekben
Percekben is a Hungarian term formed from the noun perc (minute) with the plural suffix -ek and the locative inessive suffix -ben, yielding percekben, literally “in minutes.” It functions as a plural inessive expression used to indicate that something is described, measured, or given within the unit of minutes. The form is most often encountered in formal, technical, or data-oriented writing where time is treated as a countable, divisible quantity rather than a simple duration.
- Case/function: inessive -ben → percekben (in minutes)
The corresponding singular form is percben (in a minute), but percekben is the usual choice when referring
