összeggel

összeggel is the instrumental case form of the Hungarian noun összeg, meaning “sum” or “amount.” It marks the means or instrument by which something is done, and is typically used in financial contexts to indicate payment, funding, or calculation with a specified amount. The form is built by adding the instrumental suffix -gel to the stem összeg, giving összeggel. The pronunciation is generally [ˈøsːɡɛl].

Etymology-wise, összeg is a derived noun connected to the concept of totaling or adding up, with the instrumental suffix -gel producing the sense “with a sum.” The -gel form is one of several instrumental variants in Hungarian (the others include -val/-vel, depending on phonology).

Usage notes: összeggel is used to express that an action is performed with a certain amount of money or other sum, often in formal or legal contexts. It can stand in for more explicit currency expressions when the point is the presence of a sum rather than the specific unit.

Examples:

- A tartozást az összeggel rendezte. (He settled the debt with that sum.)

- A költségeket az összeggel fedezték. (The costs were covered with that amount.)

In everyday speech, speakers frequently specify currency directly (forinttal, euróval, etc.), but összeggel remains correct when the focus is on the use of a particular sum rather than on a specific currency.
