Fesztiválokkal

Fesztiválokkal is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “with festivals.” It is the instrumental plural form of the noun fesztivál (festival) and is used to express accompaniment or means in a clause. The expression commonly appears in travel writing, cultural journalism, and descriptions of events or municipal programs.

Formation and usage: The base word fesztivál has a plural form fesztiválok. The instrumental plural is created by attaching the suffix -kal to the plural, producing fesztiválokkal. This form follows standard Hungarian patterns for instrumental case and is used to indicate that festivals are the means, participants, or context of what is being described. For example, you might say that a city’s summer was “fesztiválokkal teli” (full of festivals) or that tours proceeded “fesztiválokkal kapcsolatos programokon.”

Examples and context: In Hungarian, fesztiválokkal typically appears in sentences discussing festival-heavy contexts, such as tourism, culture, or urban planning. It can describe the presence of festivals as part of experiences, economies, or schedules. Phrases like “fesztiválokkal és koncertekkel” illustrate how the instrumental plural combines with other elements to convey a broader set of activities.

Etymology and note: Fesztivál is a borrowed word from Western European languages, standardized into Hungarian spelling and pronunciation. The instrumental plural fesztiválokkal reflects regular Hungarian morphology, where the -kal suffix indicates accompaniment or means and is appended to the plural form when the noun refers to multiple festivals.
