Krémekkel

Krémekkel is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “with creams.” It is the plural instrumental case of the noun krém, which can refer to both culinary cream (such as pastry cream or whipped cream) and cosmetic cream, depending on context. The form is built from the plural stem krémek (creams) plus the instrumental suffix -kel, yielding krémekkel, which denotes accompaniment, means, or inclusion of multiple creams.

In usage, krémekkel appears in cooking, baking, and product descriptions to specify that something is prepared with or served with creams. For example, a dessert might be described as töltött krémekkel (“filled with creams”), or a cake could be díszített krémekkel (“decorated with creams”). It can also appear in compound phrases like csokoládé-krémekkel (with chocolate creams) or gyümölcs-krémekkel (with fruit creams).

The term is typically interpreted from context to indicate culinary creams, though in cosmetics or skincare contexts krémekkel could refer to products that are used with or combined with creams. As a grammatical form, krémekkel is neutral and does not convey a specific flavor or type of cream by itself; the surrounding words clarify whether the reference is to food or cosmetics.

Etymology traces krém to the French crème, adapted into Hungarian as krém, with pluralization to krémek and the instrumental suffix -kel to form krémekkel.
