Nagyságával

Nagyságával is the instrumental singular form of the Hungarian noun nagyság, which means greatness, magnitude, or size. It is used to express the quality attributed to something, often describing the manner, impression, or presence created by that quality.

Etymology and form: Nagyság is formed from the adjective nagy (big) plus the abstract-noun suffix -ság. The instrumental suffix -val/-vel yields -ával in this case, reflecting vowel harmony. Thus nagyságával literally means “with its greatness” or “by its size,” and functions as an instrumental or adverbial modifier.

Usage: The form is typically found in descriptive or formal language and in literary prose. It attributes the characteristic of greatness or size to a noun and can describe how that quality affects perception or action. It can also indicate accompaniment or manner in which something is experienced, by way of the quality itself.

Example: A hegy nagyságával lenyűgözte a turistákat. (The mountain, with its grandeur, impressed the tourists.)
