Fénnyel

Fénnyel is the Hungarian instrumental case form of fény (light). It denotes the means, instrument, or source by which an action is performed and is typically translated as “with light” in English. The form is created by adding the instrumental suffix -vel to the stem fény; phonological assimilation yields fénnyel, with a doubled n in spelling.

In usage, fénnyel is used when light is the means of illumination or the resource used to achieve a result. For example, “A szobát fénnyel megvilágították” means “The room was illuminated with light.” The construction can also be used metaphorically to describe things associated with light or clarity, such as “fénnyel teli mondanivaló” (a message bathed in light).

Relation to other forms is straightforward: fénnyel is an instrumental form that follows the general Hungarian pattern of adding -vel to nouns to indicate instrument or means. It is related to other compounds formed with fény, such as fénykép (photograph), fényforrás (light source), and fényesség (brightness).

Summary: fénnyel is a common Hungarian grammatical form used to express “with light” as a means or source, applicable in both literal illumination and figurative contexts, and it exemplifies the language’s instrumental-case construction.
