Melyekkel

Melyekkel is a Hungarian word that functions as the instrumental plural form of the relative/interrogative pronoun mely (which). It means “with which” or “by which” and is used in questions and relative clauses to refer to multiple means, instruments, or methods. The form combines the plural word melyek with the instrumental suffix -kel, following Hungarian vowel harmony rules.

In usage, melyekkel introduces a means or instrument in plural reference. It appears in questions such as melyekkel lehet ezt megoldani? and in relative clauses like az eszközök, melyekkel dolgoztak, meaning “the tools with which they worked.” It typically relates to tangible tools, devices, or abstract methods that enable a task. The construction is common in formal and written Hungarian and can appear after a noun phrase to specify the means by which something is done.

Grammar notes: melyekkel is the plural instrumental form and is used when the referents are plural. It contrasts with other forms such as melyikle/-val forms in other contexts, and with the singular equivalent melyvel (with which) when referring to a single means. The choice of milyen form to use depends on number, case, and the syntactic role in the sentence. Overall, melyekkel provides a precise way to specify multiple instruments or methods in a clear, formal register.
