Gyökerekkel

Gyökerekkel is a Hungarian instrumental plural form of the noun gyökér, meaning root. It is used to express means or accompaniment, roughly translating to with roots. In Hungarian grammar, the instrumental case indicates the instrument, means, or accompanying element by which an action is performed or a condition is achieved. The plural instrumental form gyökerekkel is formed from the plural gyökerek and the instrumental suffix -kel, resulting in the joined form gyökerekkel.

Usage of gyökerekkel is common in botanical or descriptive contexts, where roots are a feature that enables actions or properties of a plant to be described. The construction can denote how something is anchored, supported, or connected through roots. For example, a sentence such as A növény gyökerekkel a talajhoz kötődik means that the plant is connected or anchored to the soil with its roots. Another example might describe a plant that, with its roots, helps stabilize surrounding soil or withstand drought, as in a context where root structures are being discussed.

In contrast to other cases, gyökerekkel tends to appear primarily in scientific, ecological, or figurative descriptions rather than everyday conversation. The term emphasizes the role of roots as a means or agents in the described situation, rather than merely naming the roots themselves. Related terms include gyökér (root) and gyökérzet (root system).
