Nyomdával

Nyomdával is a Hungarian instrumental form meaning “with a printing press” or “by printing.” It is formed from nyomda (printing house, printing press) with the instrumental suffix -val/-vel. The phrase is used to indicate the tool or method used to produce something, especially in descriptions of reproduction, printing, or stamping processes.

In contemporary Hungarian, nyomdával is relatively formal and somewhat archaic in everyday speech. More common alternatives for indicating a production method include nyomtatással (“by printing”) or nyomdai úton (“by printing/through a printing process”). Nyomdával tends to appear in technical, historical, or literary contexts where a precise mention of the means of production is desired.

Examples of usage include sentences such as: A feliratot nyomdával készítették (The inscription was produced with a printing press). A címkét nyomdával nyomtatták? (The label was printed by a press). Although less frequent today, nyomdával remains a valid way to express the method of production and is understood in formal Hungarian to refer to work done using a printing press. Related terms include nyomda, nyomtatás, and nyomdai.
