Pihenéssel

Pihenéssel is the instrumental form of the Hungarian noun pihenés, meaning rest or relaxation. It is used to indicate the means, manner, or accompaniment by which an action is carried out, translating roughly to “with rest” or “by means of rest” in English.

Form and derivation: The base noun pihenés is combined with the instrumental suffix -ssel (the -s plus -el vowel harmony), producing pihenéssel. When the preceding stem ends in -s, the form shows assimilation to -ssel. This is a standard pattern in Hungarian for instrumental phrases with nouns.

Usage: Pihenéssel commonly appears with verbs that describe actions performed using rest as a resource, such as healing or recovery, medical treatment, or general well-being. It can also modify noun phrases in which rest is a context or condition, as in pihenéssel kapcsolatos meaning “related to rest.”

Examples: The sentence A gyógyulást pihenéssel és gyógyszeres kezeléssel segítették translates to “The recovery was aided by rest and medical treatment.” The phrase pihenéssel kapcsolatos tanácsok means “rest-related advice.”

Notes: In Hungarian, instrumental forms like pihenéssel are a standard part of expression for means or accompaniment. They should not be confused with the imperative or other cases of the word pihenés. The form can appear in both formal and colloquial contexts.
