hagyománnyal

Hagyománnyal is the instrumental singular form of hagyomány, a Hungarian noun meaning tradition. It is used to express that something is done with tradition in mind, or in accordance with customary practices. As a grammatical form, hagyománnyal marks accompaniment or a manner related to tradition, and it often appears in phrases that link actions or judgments to customary ways.

Etymology and grammar: hagyomány derives from the verb root hagy- meaning to leave, entrust, or hand down, combined with the -omány suffix that forms abstract nouns. The instrumental ending -val/-vel, here spelled as -nyal after the word’s final -ny, turns hagyomány into hagyománnyal, signaling “with tradition.” The plural instrumental is hagyományokkal, used when referring to multiple traditions.

Usage: Hagyománnyal is common in formal, descriptive, and cultural contexts. It frequently occurs with phrases like hagyománnyal összhangban (in harmony with tradition) or hagyománnyal követve (following tradition). It can appear in discussions of cultural events, rituals, cuisine, or education when describing adherence to customary practices. For example: A rendezvényt hagyománnyal összhangban rendezték. A receptet hagyománnyal követve mutatták be.

See also: hagyomány, hagyományőrzés, nyelvtan. While hagyománnyal emphasizes the instrumental sense of acting with tradition, other Hungarian expressions can convey similar meanings, such as a hagyomány szerint or a hagyományok szerint.
