gyakorlattal

Gyakorlattal is the instrumental case form of the Hungarian noun gyakorlata, which means practice, exercise, or drill. It is used in Hungarian to express the instrument or means by which an action is performed, or to indicate accompaniment or a manner of doing something. The form is created by adding the instrumental suffix val/vel to the stem gyakorl- (from gyakorlás or gyakorlata, depending on context), resulting in gyakorlattal. The spelling reflects assimilation that occurs when a consonant-final stem takes the instrumental suffix.

Usage and meaning

Gyakorlattal typically answers questions like “with what?” or “by what means?” in relation to an action. It can emphasize practical experience, hands-on effort, or repeated practice as a route to achievement. In more general terms, it can convey that a task is accomplished through training, drill, or experience rather than theory alone. The expression can also appear in metaphorical senses, highlighting that success or skill is built through practice over time.

- A készség fejlesztése gyakorlattal történik. (The development of the skill occurs through practice.)
