terminológiájában

Terminológiájában is a Hungarian phrase formed from the noun terminológia (terminology) with the possessive suffix ja (“its”) and the locative suffix ban/ben (“in”). The resulting form terminológiájában means “in its terminology” or “within its terminology.” It is used to specify that a statement or analysis concerns the vocabulary, definitions, and conventions that belong to a particular domain, field, or community.

In usage, the expression functions as a frame that locates a discussion within a domain-specific lexicon. It is common in academic, technical, or formal prose where precision about terms is important. For example, one might say, “Az orvosi terminológiájában egyes kifejezések többértelműek lehetnek,” meaning that within medical terminology some expressions can be ambiguous. Another example: “A jogi terminológiájában különbséget tesz a szerződés és a megállapodás között.”

Morphologically, terminológiájában illustrates how Hungarian chains affixes: terminológia (terminology) plus -ja (possessive suffix for “its”) and -ban (locative suffix). The form also obeys vowel harmony, with the choice of -ban/-ben accordingly.

Usage notes: because it points to a field's specific lexicon, the term’s meaning depends on context. It is more common in scholarly discourse than in everyday language. In translation, it is often rendered as “in the terminology of [the field]” to preserve the sense of domain-specific meaning.
