hardverekkel

Hardverekkel is a Hungarian expression that denotes a focus on hardware rather than software. The word combines hardver (hardware) with the plural suffix -ek and the instrumental suffix -kel, yielding a phrase that literally means “with hardware.”

Etymology and grammar: Hardver is borrowed from English hardware; hardverek is the plural form. Adding -kel forms an instrumental construction used to indicate accompaniment or basis. It is used in contexts such as hardverekkel kapcsolatos feladatok, which refer to tasks related to hardware.

Usage: The term is common in Hungarian IT discussions to contrast hardware-focused tasks with software-focused ones. It appears in procurement, assembly guides, and hobbyist or maker-community discourse where hardware configuration and physical components are emphasized.

Relation to other terms: It contrasts with szoftverekkel (with software) or with the noun hardver itself, and it often functions as a grammatical case rather than signaling a separate field of study. The expression is primarily found in informal or technical writing in Hungarian.
