Tényekkel

Tényekkel is a Hungarian phrase functioning as the instrumental plural form of the noun tény (fact). It literally means “with facts” and is used to indicate that something is supported by facts or based on factual evidence. The form tényekkel is created from tények (facts) plus the instrumental suffix -kel, and it appears in constructions that emphasize evidentiary support.

Usage and meaning: In written and spoken Hungarian, tényekkel is commonly used to characterize statements, arguments, or data as being grounded in verifiable information. It often occurs in phrases such as tényekkel alátámasztva (supported by facts) or tényekkel bizonyítva (proved by facts). The term signals an emphasis on evidence rather than opinion and is frequent in journalism, public discourse, academia, and legal or policy contexts.

Examples:

- Az állítás tényekkel alátámasztva hangzik megbízhatónak.

- A riport tényekkel alátámasztott érvelést mutat be.

- A kutatás tényekkel alátámasztott eredményeket közöl.

Nuances: While broadly positive, the expression can be used rhetorically to advocate for fact-based argumentation or to critique claims perceived as insufficiently supported. It is distinct from generic “tudnivalók” or “információk” because tényekkel explicitly invokes verifiable evidence.
