Kaszával

Kaszával is the instrumental case form of the Hungarian noun kasza, which means a sickle or scythe. It denotes the instrument used to perform an action and is used in sentences to indicate that something is done with that tool.

In usage, kaszával appears after verbs that describe actions performed with the tool, such as cutting or harvesting. Examples include "Kaszával dolgozott a mezőn" (He worked in the field with a sickle) and "Kaszával vágta le a füvet" (He cut the grass with a sickle). The form is common in everyday Hungarian and in agricultural or rural contexts.

Etymologically, kaszával is formed by adding the instrumental suffix -val/-vel to the noun kasza. This suffix marks the instrument used for the action and follows standard Hungarian rules for vowel harmony and phonological assimilation. Kaszával is one of several instrumental forms that attach to base nouns to indicate tool or means.
