állásukon

"Állásukon" is a Hungarian word that translates to "in their position" or "at their post" in English. It is a common and versatile phrase used in various contexts.

The word is composed of two parts: "állás" which means "position," "job," or "stand," and the suffix "-ukon" which indicates possession and location, specifically "on their." Therefore, "állásukon" literally means "on their position" or "in their job."

It can be used to describe someone's physical location, such as a soldier remaining "állásukon" (in their post) during a shift. It can also refer to someone's professional role or responsibility, implying they are actively engaged in their work or maintaining their duties. For example, a news report might state that the employees were "állásukon" (at their posts) despite the challenging circumstances.

The phrase can also carry a connotation of steadfastness or commitment. If someone is said to be "állásukon" during a difficult time, it suggests they are not abandoning their responsibilities. Conversely, if someone is removed from their "állásukon," it means they have been dismissed or relieved of their duties. The specific meaning is often clarified by the surrounding context.
