életükben

"Életükben" is a Hungarian word that translates to "in their lifetime" or "during their life." It is commonly used in the context of discussing the achievements, experiences, or events that occurred while a person or group was alive. The word is formed by combining "élet" meaning "life" and the suffix "-ükben" which denotes possession (their) and inessive case (in).

This term is often employed in biographical contexts, historical accounts, and even in everyday conversations when referring to past accomplishments or significant moments in someone's existence. For instance, one might say "Ők is látták a repülőt életükben" meaning "They also saw the airplane in their lifetime," indicating a shared experience within their living memory. The phrasing emphasizes the temporal aspect, highlighting that the subject matter pertains to the period when the individuals were alive. It serves as a direct and concise way to frame a narrative or statement within the scope of a completed or ongoing lifespan.
