szakaszban

Szakaszban is the Hungarian inessive form of the noun szakasz, literally meaning "in (a) section" or "in (a) phase". It is used to indicate location within a segment, a stage of a process, or a period of time when something occurs. The suffix -ban/-ben marks the inessive case in Hungarian and conveys the sense of being "inside" or "within" a defined unit.

Usage spans multiple domains: in texts and documents it refers to a specific part of a written work; in project management and everyday speech it denotes a phase of an activity (for example, "A projekt a tervezési szakaszban van" — "The project is in the planning phase"); in technical contexts it can describe subdivisions of structures, routes, or systems; in sports and performance contexts it may refer to a period or segment of play. Szakaszban is commonly combined with verbs and modifiers to indicate staged or phased actions, as in "szakaszban történő végrehajtás" (execution in stages).

Related forms include szakasz (section/segment), szakaszos (intermittent, sectional), and the locative variations szakaszában, szakaszokban. As a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, szakaszban functions primarily to situate events or objects within an organized portion of space, time, or process.
