éghajlatokon

Éghajlatokon is the locative plural form of the Hungarian noun éghajlat (climate). It is formed from éghajlatok (climates) by adding the locative plural suffix -okon, yielding éghajlatokon, which means “in/on the climate zones.” The form is used in geographic, climatological, and ecological writing to denote a scope that covers multiple climate zones rather than a single climate.

In use, éghajlatokon typically appears with constructions such as éghajlatokon belül (within the climate zones) or éghajlatokon át (across climate zones). It describes phenomena, data, or comparisons that are distributed across several climate zones. For example: “Az éghajlatokon belüli különbségek befolyásolják a növényfajok elterjedését.” Another common phrase is “az éghajlatokon érintett módszerek,” referring to methods affected by climate zones.

The term is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form that helps define scope in Hungarian scholarly prose. It illustrates the language’s use of case endings to express spatial relations and cross-zone analyses.
