feltételivel

Feltételivel is a Hungarian term that refers to a rarely used instrumental form derived from the noun feltétel (condition). It is said to be formed by adding an instrumental-style suffix -ivel to the stem, a pattern that can appear in some older or regional texts. In standard modern Hungarian, the normal instrumental form of feltétel is feltétellel, and the adverb meaning “conditionally” is feltételesen. Therefore feltételivel is not considered part of the common, normative language.

Usage and acceptability: Feltételivel is not widely accepted in contemporary Hungarian grammar. Most grammars categorize it as archaic, dialectal, or erroneous in everyday usage. When it does occur, its meaning would generally be understood as “with a condition” or “on the condition that,” but the sense is often clearer when expressed with more standard constructions.

Examples and alternatives: A phrase such as feltételivel kötött megállapodás may be found in some historical documents or regional texts, but the preferred contemporary forms are feltétellel kötött megállapodás or feltételekhez kötött megállapodás, depending on the intended nuance. For the adverbial sense, feltételesen is used to mean “conditionally.”
