síkjában

Síkjában is a Hungarian locative construction formed from the noun sík (plane) with the possessive suffix -ja (its plane) and the locative suffix -ban, yielding síkja + ban = síkjában. It means “in its plane” and is used to describe something located inside or within the plane of another object, most often in mathematical or geometric contexts.

In grammar, síkjában illustrates how Hungarian combines possession and location: síkja indicates “its plane,” and -ban marks the spatial relation “in.” This form is typically used when the plane in question belongs to a previously mentioned figure or object, making the relation explicit.

Usage and domains

Síkjában is most common in technical or academic language, especially geometry, analytic geometry, and related fields. It resources precise spatial statements such as where a point, line, or curve lies relative to a given plane. While possible in broader Hungarian, it is primarily encountered in specialized texts rather than everyday speech.

Examples

A síkjában lévő pontokat koordinátákkal lehet megadni.

A síkjában elhelyezkedő görbe a koordináta-rendszer szemszögéből vizsgálható.

Notes

The phrase is part of standard Hungarian morphology, illustrating the interplay between possessive forms and locative suffixes to express location relative to a plane. It is one of several ways to describe spatial relations in geometrical language.
