Segíttséggel

Segíttséggel is a form that appears in Hungarian as an instrumental expression meaning “with the help of” or “by means of assistance.” In modern standard Hungarian, the corresponding and widely used form is segítséggel; segíttséggel is largely considered nonstandard and is primarily encountered in older texts, regional varieties, or philological discussions.

The form is understood as an instrumental construction built from the noun meaning help or assistance and the instrumental suffix. The spelling with a double t is not common in contemporary usage and is typically described in linguistic or historical surveys as an archaism or orthographic variant rather than a productive modern form. Because of its rarity and nonstandard status, segíttséggel is not taught as a separate grammatical paradigm in standard Hungarian instruction.

In practice, writers and editors who aim for contemporary correctness would replace segíttséggel with segítséggel to convey the same meaning clearly. When cited in scholarly works, segíttséggel may illustrate historical spelling, regional variation, or the evolution of instrumental endings in Hungarian.

Note: Segíttséggel is not a commonly recommended form in modern Hungarian grammar guides; segítséggel remains the standard instrumental construction for “with the help of.”
