Szakállaival

Szakállaival is a Hungarian term that translates to "with his beard" in English. It is a grammatical construct used to indicate possession or accompaniment related to a beard. The word is formed by combining "szakáll" (beard) with the possessive suffix "-a" (his) and the instrumental case suffix "-ival" (with). This suffix indicates that something is done by means of, or in accompaniment with, the beard.

The phrase can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might say "A bölcs öreg szakállaival tanácsot adott" which translates to "The wise old man gave advice with his beard." In this sentence, the beard is part of the imagery associated with the wise old man, suggesting a venerable appearance. Another example could be "A kutya a farkával játszott, a macska pedig a szakállaival" meaning "The dog played with its tail, and the cat with its beard." Here, it would be referring to a male cat's whiskers, implying playful interaction.

The use of "szakállaival" highlights a specific aspect of a masculine appearance or a characteristic feature of an animal. It is a nuanced grammatical form that adds descriptive detail to a sentence, emphasizing the presence and involvement of the beard in an action or description. The term is primarily encountered in Hungarian literature, poetry, and descriptive prose where detailed imagery is desired.
