párban

Párban is a Hungarian adverbial form meaning "in pairs" or "by pairs." It is derived from the noun pár (pair) with the locative suffix -ban, and it describes the manner in which an action is carried out or the arrangement of participants.

In use, párban is attached to verbs to indicate that two or more people work, interact, or perform tasks as partners rather than individually or in larger groups. For example: "A diákok párban dolgoznak" means "The students work in pairs," and "Párban dolgozzatok!" means "Work in pairs!" It is commonly employed in educational, collaborative, and instructional contexts.

Grammatical notes: -ban is a locative suffix in Hungarian; the word párban forms a single word with pár. The expression behaves as an adverbial modifier of the verb and can be contrasted with "csapatban" (in teams) or "egyedül" (alone) to specify the grouping or arrangement of participants.

Usage context: párban is widely used to organize activities, assignments, and exercises that require two people or partners. It conveys a practical method for collaborative work and is widely understood in Hungarian-speaking environments, including classrooms, workplaces, and social settings where paired tasks are appropriate. While other related terms exist (such as pár, páros, or csapat), párban specifically emphasizes the paired, two-person arrangement.
