állandókon

állandókon is the locative plural form of the Hungarian noun adverbial adjective állandó, meaning constant or permanent. In Hungarian grammar, the locative case (suffixes like -on/-en/-ön) marks location or context, and when it is combined with a plural noun, the plural ending -k is added as well. Thus the plural locative form of állandó is állandók in the nominative, and állandókon in the locative plural. The literal meaning of állandókon is “on the constants” or “in relation to the constants.”

The form is mainly encountered in technical or academic prose, particularly in mathematics, physics, or computer science, where one discusses properties, functions, or operations defined for constants or values designated as constants. It indicates the domain or context in which a statement holds or an operation is applied.

Examples can illustrate its use. For instance: az állandókon értelmezett függvények vizsgálata — “the examination of functions defined on the constants.” Another example: Az állandókon megadott értékek alapján számolunk — “We compute based on the values given for the constants.” Such phrases show how állandókon functions as a locative marker to specify where or on which constants a mathematical or scientific concept is defined or applied.

Note that állandók (the nominative plural) is used for the straightforward plural subject “constants.” The form állandókon is not a separate lexical item but an inflected form of the same word, chosen by grammatical role. See also állandó.
