fogyasztásával

Fogyasztásával is the instrumental case form of the Hungarian noun fogyasztás, meaning consumption. It expresses the means, manner, or accompaniment by which something occurs, and is typically translated as “with its consumption” or “by consuming” in English. The form is common in formal and technical writing, including economics, policy analysis, and sociology, where consumption-related processes are discussed.

Fogyasztás originates from the verb fogyasztani, to consume. The suffix -ás creates a noun denoting a process or state, and the instrumental suffix -val/-vel, which follows vowel harmony, yields -ával. Thus fogyasztásával literally means “with its consumption” and is used to indicate instrument or means in a sentence.

Usage examples illustrate its role as an instrumental expression. For instance, a sentence like “A vállalat a fogyasztásával növelte nyereségét” conveys that the company increased its profit through or by means of its consumption. Another example: “A kutatás a fogyasztásával összefüggő költségvetési hatásokat értékelte,” where the phrase links the analysis to effects associated with consumption.

In linguistic terms, fogyasztásával is a case-form of a mass noun, used to reference the act of consuming or the consumption-related means in a broader statement about processes, resources, or economic activity. Related terms include fogyasztás (consumption), fogyasztó (consumer), and fogyasztói társadalom (consumer society). The form aligns with Hungarian vowel harmony rules, taking the -ával ending after back vowels.
