Tengerparttal

Tengerparttal is the instrumental form of the Hungarian noun tengerpart, meaning the coast or seashore. The form is created by attaching the instrumental suffix -tal to the stem tengerpart, following the general Hungarian pattern for consonant-final stems. In this usage, tengerparttal signals accompaniment or association with the coastline rather than a direct spatial or adjectival relationship.

In linguistic terms, tengerparttal is discussed as an example of the instrumental case applied to a compound noun. It may appear in descriptive or metalinguistic texts about Hungarian grammar, or in poetry and prose where the coast is personified or treated as a partner in a situation. The construction is more common in formal or specialized writing than in everyday conversation, where alternative phrasing is typical.

Usage notes:

- It is primarily encountered in grammar descriptions, lexicographic explanations, or stylistic passages.

- In ordinary speech, speakers often opt for other expressions to convey “with the coast” or “coastal-related,” depending on context.

Example sentences:

- A kutatás a tengerparttal összefüggő kérdéseket vizsgálja. (The research examines questions related to the coast.)

- A projektsorozat tengerparttal együttműködő partnereket vont be. (The project series involved partners cooperating with the coast.)
