Méréssel

Méréssel is the instrumental case form of the Hungarian noun mérés, meaning measurement. In Hungarian grammar, the instrumental case expresses the means, instrument, or method by which an action is performed. Therefore méréssel translates roughly as “with measurement” or “by measurement” and is used to indicate that something is done through or by means of measurement.

Formation: The instrumental suffix in Hungarian is -val/-vel. When the stem ends in a consonant, the suffix is attached as -ssel or -ssal, resulting in forms such as mérés + -ssel = méréssel. The same process applies to other nouns ending in -s, -t, -z, etc., producing double consonants where appropriate.

Usage: Méréssel is common in technical, scientific, and formal writing to denote the method or means of measurement. Examples: Az értékeket méréssel határozták meg. A kísérletet méréssel ellenőrizték.
