zavarokban

Zavarokban is the locative plural form of the Hungarian noun zavar, meaning disturbance or disorder. It literally translates as “in disturbances” or “in disorders” and is formed by adding the locative suffix -ban to the plural stem zavarok, following standard vowel harmony (the suffix is -ban because the stem contains back vowels).

Usage in Hungarian is primarily syntactic, indicating location within a set of disturbances or disorders. It is common in clinical, psychological, or technical contexts where a description concerns phenomena occurring inside such conditions. Typical constructions include zavarokban szenvedő betegek (patients suffering from disorders) and zavarokban érintett populáció (population affected by disorders).

Examples:

- A vizsgálat zavarokban szenvedő alanyokra összpontosított.

- A program célja a zavarokban érintettek ellátásának fejlesztése.

Etymology and notes:

Zavar means disturbance or disorder, and the form -ok denotes the plural. The locative suffix -ban (or -ben after front-vowel stems) marks position “in.” The phrase is neutral and descriptive, and its exact nuance depends on the surrounding context, whether referring to medical conditions, neurological symptoms, or other types of disturbances.
