szezonban

Szezonban is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in season” or “during the season.” It indicates that something is appropriate, available, or typical within a particular time frame defined by a season. The word is commonly used in relation to agriculture and food, as well as sports and cultural events.

The noun szezon means season, and szezonban is formed by adding the suffix -ban to indicate being within that time period. The term has entered general usage alongside related forms such as szezonális (seasonal) and szezonális munka (seasonal work). The concept is widely understood across contexts, from production and retail to entertainment and sports.

Usage examples illustrate its range. A paradicsom most szezonban van. Tomatoes are in season now. Sütőtök szezonban van szeptembertől novemberig. Pumpkins are available in season from September to November. A sportcsapat a szezonban jó teljesítményt nyújt. The sports team performs well during the season. Nyáron gyakran előfordul, hogy a helyi termelők szezonban árulják a friss zöldségeket. In summer it is common for local producers to sell fresh vegetables in season.

Notes: szezonban primarily functions as an adverbial time expression. It contrasts with adverbs or phrases like mindig (always) or évente (annually) by pinpointing a specific seasonal period. The term is neutral and widely used in everyday language, media, and practical discourse.
