érintésben

érintésben is a Hungarian inessive form of the noun érintés, meaning “in touch” or “in contact.” In grammar, the suffix -ben/-ban marks location or state inside something, so érintésben denotes a condition in which surfaces, objects, or entities are in contact, or more broadly, a state of being in touch or connected.

Etymology and related terms: érintés comes from érinteni, “to touch.” Related words include érintkezés (contact, contact between things) and érintkezni (to come into contact). While érintés emphasizes the act or instance of touching, érintkezés often connotes ongoing contact or interaction. The form érintésben is used when the contact state itself is the focus, rather than the action.

Usage: The term appears in technical, scientific, and precise prose when describing physical contact between parts or surfaces, as well as in figurative language to denote being in touch with someone or something. In everyday language, speakers may opt for alternatives such as érintkezésben or other expressions like “kapcsolatban van,” depending on context and nuance.

Examples: A két felület érintésben van. A vezetőrészek érintésben vannak. In these contexts érintésben conveys that the elements are in direct contact or connection at that moment.
