Egyedekkel

Egyedekkel is the instrumental plural form of the Hungarian noun egyed, which means an individual, a specimen, or a unit in various contexts such as biology, sociology, or mathematics. The nominative plural is egyedek, and the instrumental plural is egyedekkel, formed by adding the instrumental suffix -kel to the plural stem. The spelling reflects assimilation, producing a double k in the middle: egyedekkel.

In use, egyedekkel denotes accompaniment, involvement, or a methodological setting that involves multiple individuals. For example: A vizsgálatot három különböző egyedekkel végezték. (The experiment was conducted with three different individuals.) Another common pattern is to describe observations or measurements performed with those individuals: Az adatok az egyedekkel végzett mérések alapján készültek. (The data were prepared based on measurements conducted with the individuals.) The phrase különböző egyedekkel emphasises diversity among the subjects.

Notes: egyedekkel is applicable to countable entities such as people, animals, cells, or specimens and is not used for abstract plurality. It illustrates a broader Hungarian practice of forming instrumental phrases by combining the plural ending with the -kel suffix. As with other -kel/-vel forms, the exact spelling follows the standard vowel harmony and consonant assimilation rules of Hungarian.
