gyümölcsével

Gyümölcsével is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “with its fruit” or “by means of its fruit.” It is not a standalone word but a combination of the noun gyümölcs (fruit) with the possessive suffix -e (its) and the instrumental suffix -vel (with). The result gyümölcsével expresses that something is done using the fruit belonging to something, or that the fruit serves as a means or accompaniment.

Morphology and syntax: The construction is built from gyümölcs + e (its fruit) + vel (with), and the two suffixes merge to form -ével due to vowel harmony. The form is used to indicate instrument or means. It follows the same pattern as other nouns in which the possessive suffix combines with the instrumental suffix, for example virágával (with its flowers). Gyümölcsével can modify a noun or appear in a predicate to describe how an action is performed.

Usage: Gyümölcsével is relatively common in descriptive or culinary contexts, such as when fruit is used as an ingredient, decoration, or flavoring. Example sentences include: "A szósz gyümölcsével ízesítve finomabb." (The sauce, flavored with fruit, is tastier.) "A desszert gyümölcsével díszítve érkezett az asztalra." (The dessert, decorated with fruit, arrived at the table.)

Notes: This form illustrates Hungarian suffixation and vowel harmony in practice. It is part of a broader set of -val/-vel constructions that express means or accompaniment with a possessor suffix.
