Vitákkal

Vitákkal is the instrumental plural form of the Hungarian noun vita, which means debates or arguments. In use, vitákkal literally means “with the debates” or “with the arguments,” and it is employed to express instrumentality or accompaniment in grammatical constructions. The form is built from viták, the plural of vita, with the instrumental plural suffix -kkal.

Formation: vita (singular) -> viták (plural) -> vitákkal (instrumental plural). The -kkal suffix marks the plural instrumental in this noun.

Usage: Vitákkal is common in formal or academic Hungarian, political rhetoric, and discussions where the speaker wants to emphasize that arguments serve as a means or accompaniment. It often appears with verbs like érvelni (to argue) or in phrases describing how an assertion is supported. Example: Vitákkal érvelnek. They argue with arguments. Vitákkal alátámasztott állításokat hallottunk. We heard statements backed with arguments.

Notes: The concept is specific to Hungarian and is rarely used in other languages. It is primarily used when contrasting with other means of persuasion or evidence, highlighting the role of arguments as instruments in discourse.
