írómfajban

írómfajban is a form that seems to be a misspelled or nonstandard variant of the Hungarian term írói műfajban, which would mean “in the writer’s genre” or more commonly “in a literary genre.” In standard Hungarian, the usual expression is írói műfajban or, more simply, a műfaj (genre) with a contextual qualifier such as irodalmi vagy krimi műfaj. The exact meaning of írómfajban depends on context, but it is not established as a formal term in Hungarian reference works.

Etymology and form: The phrase combines író (writer) or írói (writer’s) with műfaj (genre) and a case ending -ban, yielding a meaning related to a genre associated with authors or a particular authorial approach. The lack of diacritics or unconventional compounding in írómfajban suggests a typographical mistake or regional/less formal usage. The more accepted form is írói műfajban or simply a műfajban, depending on the sentence.

Usage and role in criticism: In literary criticism, discussing works “írói műfajban” would typically refer to readings that emphasize authorial craft, stylistic conventions, and the traditions that shape a genre as practiced by particular writers or schools. Critics may analyze how a work adheres to or diverges from those conventions, and how authorial choices influence genre expectations. The term is not a distinct genre label but a way to frame discussion of style and form within a genre.
