Elégedettséggel

Elégedettséggel is a Hungarian instrumental noun phrase formed from elégedettség (satisfaction) with the instrumental suffix -vel/-val. It expresses the manner in which an action is performed or the attitude with which something is perceived or reacted to. The phrase is commonly used in formal, literary, or journalistic Hungarian to convey a positive evaluation or approval.

Etymology: elégedettség comes from the adjective elégedett (content, pleased) with the derivational suffix -ség, forming a noun that denotes the state of being content. The instrumental suffix -val/-vel converts the noun to a form meaning "with" the quality, yielding "with satisfaction."

Usage: Examples include, for instance, "A közönség elégedettséggel fogadta az új törvényt," meaning "The audience welcomed the new law with satisfaction." Another example is "A beszámoló végén elégedettséggel nyugtázták az eredményeket," meaning "At the end of the report, they acknowledged the results with satisfaction." In everyday speech, the adverbial "elégedetten" or the adjective "elégedett" are more common; "elégedettséggel" tends to appear in formal writing or when explicitly indicating the manner of reaction.
