azokkal

Azokkal is a Hungarian demonstrative form meaning “with those.” It represents the instrumental plural form of azok, the demonstrative determiner meaning “those.” In use, azokkal marks accompaniment or the means by which an action is performed, as in phrases describing actions done together with those particular items or people.

In grammatical terms, azokkal is part of a larger family that includes azokkal, ezekkel and velük. These forms attach the instrumental meaning to demonstratives and pronouns, indicating that the accompanying elements are specifically those referred to as “those.” The spelling azokkal reflects assimilation that occurs when combining the demonstrative with the instrumental suffix.

Usage notes emphasize that azokkal typically appears when the speaker refers to a defined set of objects or persons mentioned or understood in the discourse. It is common in spoken and written Hungarian to specify which group is involved, for example when describing actions performed together with a referenced pile of books, tools, or people.

Examples:

- Azokkal a könyvekkel tanulok. (I study with those books.)

- Azokkal megyek a piacra. (I’m going to the market with those.)

Related forms include ezekkel (with these) and velük (with them), which follow the same instrumental pattern for different demonstratives or pronouns. Azokkal, like its cognates, is primarily a functional connector in sentences that express accompaniment, means, or collaboration with a specified group.
