tejben

Tejben is the locative form of the Hungarian noun tej, meaning "milk." In English, it translates roughly as "in milk" and functions as a medium or location indicator in phrases and sentences.

Formation and grammar: Tejben is formed by adding the locative suffix -ben to tej, following Hungarian vowel harmony. It is a grammatical inflection rather than a stand-alone lexical item; it denotes that something is situated or used inside milk. It appears in both spoken and written language to describe where something is located or prepared.

Usage examples: The term is common in culinary language, where milk serves as a cooking liquid, soaking medium, or base. For example, kenyér tejben megáztatva means "bread soaked in milk." In other contexts, it can describe dairy processing or desserts prepared in milk. Outside of cooking, tejben is used to describe location or medium in descriptive prose.
