Zsákmánnyal

Zsákmánnyal is a Hungarian word that translates to "with prey" or "carrying prey". It is often used in the context of animals, particularly birds of prey, when they are depicted or described as having captured and are holding their quarry. For example, a hawk zsákmánnyal would indicate a hawk that has caught something and is holding it.

The term emphasizes the state of possession or the ongoing action of carrying the captured item. It is a descriptive adjective or adverbial phrase that adds detail to the scene, highlighting the successful hunt. In ornithology or wildlife photography, seeing an animal zsákmánnyal is a significant observation, signifying a successful hunt and a moment of primal instinct in action. The word itself is composed of "zsákmány," meaning prey or loot, and the suffix "-val/-vel," which indicates "with." This grammatical construction is common in Hungarian to express accompaniment or possession.
