Életben

Életben is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in life” or “alive.” It is used to describe the state of being alive or present in life, often in contrast to being dead. In everyday language, it frequently appears with forms of the verb van (to be) or volt (was): for example, ééltben van means someone is alive, and a sentence like A balesetben sok ember életben maradt conveys that many people survived the accident.

Etymology and form: Életben is derived from the noun élet (life) with the suffix -ben, which marks a location or state “in.” As an adverb, életben does not inflect for person or number; it functions to modify verbs and states rather than as a core part of a subject.

Usage notes: The word приобрет uses are common in medical, accident, and survival contexts, such as életben marad (to survive), életben tart (to keep someone alive), or egyszerűen “Él — életben van.” It contrasts with halott, the word for dead. Beyond literal life status, it can appear in idiomatic expressions indicating ongoing relevance, vitality, or persistence, though such uses are less common than the literal sense.
