felszínnel

Felszínnel is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun felszín (surface). It is formed by adding the instrumental suffix -nel to felszín and is typically interpreted as meaning “with a surface” or “by means of a surface.” The usage of this form is limited in modern Hungarian, and the instrumental case is ordinarily expressed with the suffix -val/-vel (for example kanállal, ecsettel).

In terms of frequency and register, felszínnel is not a common everyday form. It appears mainly in specialized technical texts, linguistic discussions illustrating inflection, or historical/dialectal material. For most speakers and in ordinary prose, alternative constructions that express instrument or means are preferred.

Usage notes and examples

The form can appear in contexts describing methods or measurements that involve a surface, such as felszínnel végzett mérés (surface-based measurement). It may also occur in sentences that express contact or interaction mediated by a surface, though such usage tends to be marked or technical. Because its appearance is uncommon, speakers should consider whether a more standard construction would convey the intended meaning more clearly.
