tüntetésen

Tüntetésen is a locative singular form of the Hungarian noun tüntetés, meaning a demonstration or protest. The form marks location and is used to indicate where an action occurs or where something happens. In Hungarian postfix morphology, the suffix -en (with the appropriate vowel harmony) attaches to the noun to express a location on or at a place or event, hence tüntetésen. The plural form is tüntetéseken.

Usage and meaning

Tüntetésen is commonly used to describe actions that take place at a demonstration, such as speaking, participating, or observing. For example: "A beszéd a tüntetésen hangzott el." (The speech was delivered at the demonstration.) "Több tucat ember vett részt a tüntetésen." (Dozens of people participated in the demonstration.) The phrase often appears in news reporting and everyday language when referring to activities connected with a protest.

Related forms and distinctions

Tüntetésen denotes location at a demonstration; it is not a temporal marker. For time-related references, other constructions are used, such as "a tüntetés alatt" (during the demonstration) or "a tüntetés során" (throughout the demonstration). A related essential form is the plural tüntetéseken, used when speaking about multiple demonstrations.

Summary

Tüntetésen identifies the place of action as being at a demonstration. It is a standard, neutral grammatical form used to describe activities occurring at protests, and it couples with verbs to convey actions tied to a specific event.
