engedékenységgel

engedékenységgel is a Hungarian expression formed from the noun engedékenység (indulgence, leniency, permissiveness) in the instrumental case, used to indicate the manner of action: doing something with indulgence or with a tolerant attitude. The base word engedékenység comes from enged (to permit) plus the suffix -ség, which yields the concept of a state or quality; the suffix -vel/-vel changes it to the instrumental form engedékenységgel, meaning “with indulgence.”

Meaning and nuance

Indulgence refers to showing understanding, forgiveness, or lax enforcement toward others’ faults or deviations. It can describe personal dispositions (an indulgent person), interpersonal interactions (dealing with someone with indulgence), or policy and practice (leniency in rules or punishment). In psychology and pedagogy, indulgence is discussed as a dimension of parenting styles: permissive-indulgent approaches emphasize warmth and flexibility but may lack structure, with potential effects on self-regulation and social behavior. In law, governance, or organizational contexts, leniency can aim at rehabilitation or mercy, yet may raise questions about accountability and deterrence.

Usage

The phrase engedékenységgel is typically used to specify the manner of action, e.g., handling a situation with indulgence. It is closely related to engedékeny (indulgent) and to terms like tolerancia or enyhítés in broader discussions of mercy or leniency. While often neutral or positive, indulgence can be criticized if it leads to excessive softness or insufficient boundaries.
