Vizsgálattal

Vizsgálattal is a Hungarian instrumental case form of the noun vizsgálat, meaning examination, inspection, or test. It marks the means, method, or instrument by which an action is performed and is often translated as “by examination” or “with examination.” In Hungarian, the instrumental suffix -val/-vel attaches to the noun; when the base ends in a consonant, the final consonant is typically doubled, giving vizsgálattal.

Morphology and usage: The singular instrumental form is vizsgálattal, while the plural instrumental form is vizsgálatokkal. This form is used in formal contexts—such as medicine, law, or science—to indicate how something was determined or what was used to obtain information or evidence.

Usage examples: A diagnózist vizsgálattal állapították meg. (The diagnosis was established by examination.) A szakértői véleményt vizsgálattal alátámasztották. (The expert opinion was supported by examination/tests.)

Notes: Vizsgálattal appears most often in formal or technical writing. In everyday speech, speakers may prefer alternatives such as a vizsgálat eredménye alapján or a vizsgálatok alapján to express “based on the examination(s).” The term is a standard example of the Hungarian instrumental construction used to indicate means or method.
