témakörébe

Témakörébe is a Hungarian grammatical form used to indicate that something falls within or belongs to a particular topic or subject area. It combines the noun témakör (topic, subject area) with a possessive suffix indicating ownership and the illative case, yielding a phrase that literally means “into its topic.” The construction is typical in written and academic Hungarian to specify scope, domain, or relevance of content relative to a defined theme.

Formation and use: The phrase is built from témakör plus the possessive form for the third person singular, producing téma-köré, and then the illative suffix -be to signal “into.” In context, it functions as a modifier meaning that the following nouns or statements pertain to that topic. It is commonly found before nouns that describe content, data, questions, or subtopics that are part of the designated theme. For example, it can be combined with adjectives like tartozó to form téma-körébe tartozó, meaning “belonging to the topic” or “within the topic.”

Typical contexts: The expression is frequent in academic writing, study guides, and analytic prose when delineating the scope of discussion or organizing material by topic. Examples include phrases such as témakörébe tartozó kérdések (questions within the topic), témakörébe tartozó adatok (data belonging to the topic), or a dolgozat témakörébe tartozó problémakörök (problems within the topic of the essay).
