számlán

Számlán is a Hungarian locative form of the noun számla, meaning invoice or bill. It denotes a location or content on an invoice or in an accounting document, and is commonly translated as "on the invoice" or "on the bill." In everyday and official financial language it appears whenever something is recorded, shown, or referenced within an invoice.

Morphology and usage: Számlán is formed by adding the locative suffix -n to the stem számla, resulting in the form used to indicate placement or presence of information on a document. It is the locative case, used to answer questions like where something is found or where it is recorded.

Typical contexts: In business and accounting texts, számlán signals that certain items, data, or amounts are listed on the invoice. Examples include: "A kedvezmény a számlán fel van tüntetve" (The discount is shown on the invoice) and "Az adó mértéke a számlán található" (The tax rate is indicated on the invoice). It can also appear in phrases describing the location of information within a document, such as "A tételek összegét a számlán tüntetik fel."

Related terms: The base word is számla (invoice). Related concepts include számlaszám (invoice or account number) and számlázás (invoicing). Grammatically, the form számlán is distinct from other cases of számla: nominative számla, accusative számlát, possessive számlája, etc., reflecting its role as a locative in sentences.
