gombokkal

Gombokkal is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “with buttons.” It is the instrumental plural form of the noun gomb (button) and is used to describe objects, clothing, or components that use buttons for fastening or decoration. The term appears in fashion writing, product descriptions, and everyday language to indicate that a piece features buttons rather than other fasteners.

Formation and usage: The base word is gomb; the plural nominative is gombok (buttons). The instrumental plural form is gombokkal, created by adding the instrumental suffix kal/kkel to the plural stem. The instrumental case expresses means or manner, so gombokkal denotes that buttons are the means by which something closes or is adorned. The phrase can modify nouns, for example: ruházat gombokkal záródó (clothing that closes with buttons) or gombokkal díszített ing (a shirt decorated with buttons).

In practice, gombokkal is common in descriptions of garments and accessories, as well as in technical or design contexts where the fastening method or decorative element is relevant. It is typically used as an adjunct to a noun, rather than as a stand-alone adjective, and may appear in combinations such as gombokkal ellátott szerkezet (a device equipped with buttons) or gombokkal feltüntetett méretek (sizes indicated with buttons). The form reflects Hungarian grammar’s handling of number and instrumentality, and it remains a standard way to specify button-based features.
