Képviselivel

Képviselivel is a form that is sometimes encountered in Hungarian writing, but it is not the standard instrumental form of the noun képviselő (representative). In standard Hungarian, the instrumental singular is képviselővel, meaning “with the representative.” The spelling képviselivel is generally regarded as a misspelling or nonstandard variant, found mainly in informal writing or due to typographical error.

Grammar and usage notes

Hungarian forms the instrumental case with the suffix -val/-vel. When the base noun ends in a long vowel or certain consonant clusters, standard spelling preserves the expected stem before the suffix, yielding képviselővel for this noun. The form képviselivel does not align with the normative orthography and is not typically listed in prescriptive grammar references. In most contexts, correcting to képviselővel is preferred in formal writing.

Examples

- A találkozó a képviselővel történt egyeztetés volt. (The meeting was an consultation with the representative.)

- A tárgyaláson a képviselővel folytatott beszélgetés hasznos volt. (The conversation with the representative during the negotiations was useful.)
