Használatával

Használatával is a Hungarian instrumental form formed from the noun használat (use) with the instrumental suffix -ával. It expresses means or method, equivalent to the English phrase “by the use of” or “with the use of.” The construction is used to indicate how an action is performed or what instrument or means enables it.

Grammatical role and formation

Használatával functions as an adverbial phrase of means. The suffix -ával/-ával follows vowel harmony rules, resulting in használatával. It is typically attached to the whole noun to indicate that the action is carried out through the use of something. This form is common in formal and technical text, where precise naming of means and methods is needed.

Usage notes

Használatával tends to appear in written and professional contexts, such as manuals, regulations, and analytical prose. In everyday speech, speakers might opt for simpler expressions like “használva” (using) or rephrase to indicate the method more directly. The form explicitly emphasizes the instrument or method of use rather than merely naming the action itself.

Examples

- A folyamatot a szoftver használatával automatizálják. (The process is automated by the use of the software.)

- A fizetés a kártya használatával történik. (Payment is made by the use of the card.)

- A hatékonyság növelése a gép használatával érhető el. (Increasing efficiency is achieved through the use of the machine.)
