Problémáival

Problémáival is a Hungarian instrumental plural form of problémá, the noun meaning "problem." The form problémáival literally means “with his/her/its problems” and is used to express accompaniment or the set of problems with which someone or something deals. It is formed from the base problémá with the instrumental plural suffix -ival (aligned to vowel harmony as -áival).

Linguistic background and usage. The noun problémák (problems) derives from problémá (problem) and follows standard Hungarian inflection patterns. The instrumental plural form problémáival is typically employed in more formal or analytical prose to indicate that an agent or subject is contending with a collection of issues. It can also denote the problems themselves as a matter that is being faced or addressed, rather than the agent’s inherent qualities.

Common functions. Problémáival can appear with verbs such as küzd (to struggle), foglalkozik (to deal with), szembesül (to confront), or megold (to solve). Examples: „A vállalat problémáival küzd,” meaning the company is struggling with its problems; „Ő a problémáival foglalkozik” meaning he or she is dealing with their problems; „A kormány a problémáival számol” indicating the government accounts for its problems.

Etymology. Probléma originates from the French problém e, ultimately from Latin and Greek roots meaning a question or matter to be solved. The Hungarian form has been integrated with regular Hungarian pluralization and the instrumental suffix -ival.
