Pontossággal

Pontossággal is the instrumental case form of the Hungarian noun pontosság, which denotes accuracy, precision, or punctuality. The term is used to express the manner or means by which an action is performed, or the quality of measurements, data, or instruments. In practical use it covers both general exactness and the technical reliability required in scientific and industrial contexts.

Etymology and grammar: Pontosság is formed from pont (point) with the abstract-noun suffix -osság. The instrumental form pontossággal adds the -val/-vel suffix, indicating “with accuracy” or “with precision.” It is commonly employed to describe how something is done or how a result is achieved, for example: A mérés eredményét pontossággal határozták meg (The measurement result was determined with precision). In daily language, more common adverbs are pontosan (precisely) or pontosan időben (on time); pontossággal tends to appear in formal or technical contexts.

Usage and nuance: Pontossággal emphasizes the quality of exactness as a characteristic of the action or outcome. It differs from pontosság (the abstract quality of being accurate) and from time-focused terms such as időpontosság (temporal accuracy or punctuality). In technical writing, pontossággal is often paired with measurements, specifications, or procedures to underline rigor and reliability.
