Adatokkal

Adatokkal is a Hungarian instrumental plural form of the noun adat, meaning data or information. The word is used to indicate the means, method, or source with which an action is performed. In everyday and academic language, adatokat is the plural noun “data,” and adatokkal attaches the instrumental suffix to express “with data” or “by means of data.”

Morphology and usage

The base word adat forms a plural as adatok. The instrumental suffix -val/-vel is added to this plural, resulting in adatokkal. The choice of -kal follows vowel harmony rules in Hungarian, producing the fixed form adatokkal. This construction signals that data are the instrument or resource involved in the described activity.

Typical contexts

Adatokal is common in research, analytics, and decision-making. It appears in sentences such as: Az adatokkal végzett elemzés megbízható eredményeket hozott. Nem hozhatunk döntéseket adatokkal való elemzés nélkül. It can also contrast with other means, such as "szakértői vélemény alapján" (based on expert opinion) or "dokumentumok alapján," highlighting data as the basis or tool.
