Technikáival

technikáival is a Hungarian term referring to a specific instrumental form of the noun technika (technique). It combines the possessive suffix with the instrumental suffix to express meanings such as “with his/her/its techniques” or “by means of their techniques.” In standard Hungarian, the common form to express “with his/her technique” is technikájával. Technikáival can appear in certain contexts, dialects, or stylistic spellings, and it illustrates how Hungarian builds complex means expressions by attaching multiple suffixes to a base noun.

Usage is primarily as an instrumental marker indicating the means by which an action is performed, often in discussions of technique, craft, or performance. Example: A mester technikáival oldotta meg a feladatot. In contexts referring to a single technique or to a singular possessor, technikájával would be the expected form, whereas technikáival may be used when the reference is to multiple techniques or in nonstandard spellings.

Etymology and morphology: the form emerges from technika (technique) plus the third-person possessive suffix and the instrumental suffix -val/-vel, with phonetic adjustments at the juncture. The precise spelling can vary with regional norms and orthographic conventions, and the more common standard variant for singular possession is technikájával.
