pontokban

Pontokban is a Hungarian locative plural form derived from the noun pont, which can mean point, dot, or item. In general, pontokban conveys the sense of “in the points” or “within the points,” and depending on context can refer to bullet points in a list or to individual data points in a set.

The form is built from pontok (the plural nominative) plus the inessive suffix -ban/-ben, here -ban after a vowel harmony: pontok + ban = pontokban. This is one of the standard Hungarian case forms, used to indicate location or position inside multiple points or items.

Usage and meaning:

- In geometry or data representation, pontokban can indicate properties or values that apply to each point. For example: A grafikonon a pontokban jelölt értékek a minta adatait tükrözik. (The values marked at the points on the graph reflect the sample data.)

- In writing or outlining, pontokban is used to refer to content organized as bullet points or list items. For example: A beszámoló a pontokban összefoglalt főbb állításokat tartalmazza. (The report contains the main statements summarized in bullet points.)

- In cartography or spatial references, pontokban may describe locations treated as discrete points on a map. For example: A területet pontokban jelöljük a térképen. (We mark the area as points on the map.)

Related forms include pontban (in the point) and pontokban in the plural; the form adjusts according to the number and case required by the sentence.
