ítélkezésben

ítélkezésben is the inessive form of the Hungarian noun ítélkezés, meaning the act or process of judging. The term refers to the state or position of forming judgments or delivering verdicts, and it is commonly used in analytical, philosophical, or legal discussions to describe how someone engages in judgment or how judgments are made.

Etymology and grammar: ítélkezés is formed from the verb ítél (to judge) plus the nominalizing suffix -kezés, which yields the noun “the act of judging.” The suffix -ben (-ben) marks the inessive case, indicating locality or state, so ítélkezésben translates roughly as “in the act of judging” or “in judgment.” The form is more typical of formal or academic prose and is less common in everyday speech.

Usage and nuance: ítélkezésben conveys a focus on the process rather than the result of judging. It is often used when discussing judgmental processes, reasoning, bias, or ethical considerations regarding how conclusions are reached. It can appear in legal, philosophical, or critical writing to emphasize the context of judgment rather than the outcome alone.

Examples: A bíró ítélkezésben hozta meg a döntést. Az ítélkezésben rejlő elfogultság vizsgálata fontos a jogi érvelés minőségéhez. A tanulmány az ítélkezésben megnyilvánuló torzításokat elemzi.
