vezetben

Vezetben is a Hungarian phrase used to describe being in a position of leadership or being in charge within an organization, project, or group. It is formed from the verb vezet (to lead) and the locative suffix -ben, and it often appears in political, corporate, and administrative contexts as well as in sports when describing the lead position.

Etymology and form: The construction reflects Hungarian patterns of attaching -ben to stems to indicate position or location. In practice, vezetben functions to denote membership in or occupancy of a leadership role. Related forms include vezetésben and vezetői cím, though usage differs by register and nuance.

Usage: In political reporting and business communications, vezetben signals that a person or body holds a leadership position, for example “A város vezetésében” (in the city's leadership) or “A cég vezetésében részt vesz” (participates in the company's leadership). In sports, the phrase may also convey being in the lead. The term is often contrasted with more specific phrases such as vezető pozícióban or élén áll, depending on emphasis and formality.

Notes: While widely understood, the exact nuance of vezetben can vary by context. For precise meaning, speakers may choose more specific expressions such as vezetői pozícióban, a vezetés élén, or a vezetőség tagjaként, depending on the intended emphasis and formality.
