Vizsgával

Vizsgával is the Hungarian instrumental case form of the noun vizsga (exam). It is created by adding the suffix -val/-vel to the stem vizsga in accordance with vowel harmony; since vizsga ends with a back vowel, the instrumental form is vizsgával. The expression denotes instrument, means, or method by which an action is performed, and can also indicate that something is determined or verified through an examination.

Usage notes: In Hungarian, the instrumental case answers questions such as how or by what means. Vizsgával is used when an examination serves as the means, criterion, or condition for an outcome. Examples include: "A pályázók kiválasztása vizsgával történt." (The selection of candidates was by examination.) "A felvételi vizsgával ellenőrizték a kérelmeket." (The applications were checked by the entrance examination.) Context and surrounding verbs or prepositions often clarify the nuance, and other expressions such as "vizsga alapján" can be used depending on meaning.

Forms and related terms: The instrumental plural form is vizsgákkal (for example, "A döntést vizsgákkal és más értékelési szempontokkal hozták meg." — The decision was made with examinations and other criteria). The base noun vizsga and its instrumental form vizsgával are standard parts of Hungarian case grammar, with no irregularities beyond standard vowel harmony rules for the suffix.
