dolgokkal

Dolgokkal is the instrumental plural form of the Hungarian noun dolog, meaning "thing" or "matter." It is used to indicate accompaniment or the means by which an action is performed, roughly translating to "with things" in English.

Formation and meaning: The base is dolgok (the plural of dolog). The instrumental suffix -kal attaches to form dolgokkal, representing the instrumental case "with." The combination typically reflects accompaniment or the means by which something is done. The final k of the stem combines with the instrumental suffix, resulting in the characteristic double k in the written form: dolgokkal.

Usage notes: Dolgokkal can appear in a variety of contexts, often describing objects involved with a task, a scene, or a state. For example, a sentence such as "A doboz tele van dolgokkal" means "The box is full of things." Another example is "A műhelyben a szerelők a dolgokkal dolgoznak," meaning "In the workshop, the technicians work with things." The form also integrates into phrases like "dolgokkal kapcsolatos" to refer to things or matters related to a topic.

Related forms and terminology: The base form is dolog; the plural is dolgok; the instrumental form is dolgokkal. The term is part of the broader Hungarian system of cases and suffixes that express possession, accompaniment, or means, with corresponding forms such as -val/-vel and -kal/-kelle depending on vowel harmony and consonant harmony in the stem.
