Látogatással

Látogatással is the instrumental form of the Hungarian noun látogatás, meaning a visit. It denotes the instrument, means, or accompanying circumstance of an action, i.e., something done by means of a visit or in connection with a visit. In formal and administrative language, it is common to encounter phrases employing látogatással to express how an activity is performed or what accompanies it.

Morphology and usage: the form is produced by adding the instrumental suffix -val/-vel to the noun, with the appropriate vowel harmony. In this case, the result is látogatással. This construction is used to indicate that a visit serves as a means or accompanies another event or condition. It often appears in legal, organizational, and scheduling contexts, as well as in general descriptive prose about events involving visitation.

Typical contexts and examples:

- A program a múzeumi látogatással egybekötött rendezvény. (The program is a museum visit–paired event.)

- A rendezvény látogatással kapcsolatos szabályokat tartalmaz. (The event contains regulations related to visiting.)

Relation to related terms: látogatás is the base noun meaning “visit.” Látogató refers to the person who visits, while látogatási is the adjective form used in compounds like látogatási engedély (visit permit) or látogatási tilalom (visitation ban). The instrumental látogatással contrasts with other grammatical cases by focusing on means or accompaniment rather than the subject of the action.
