igyekezettel

igyekezettel is a Hungarian adverbial noun meaning “with effort” or “with diligence.” It denotes the manner in which an action is performed, emphasizing conscientiousness and thoroughness. The term is formed from the noun igyekezet (endeavor, effort) and the instrumental-like suffix -tel, which yields a phrase expressing manner.

Etymology and form: igyekezet comes from the verb igyekezni (to strive, to endeavor). The -tel suffix functions to create an instrumental or adverbial noun, producing igyekezettel as a way to express how something is done—namely, with effort.

Usage and register: igyekezettel is primarily found in written or formal language and literary narration. It may modify verbs to highlight the effort behind an action, such as in official reports or descriptive prose. It is less common in colloquial speech, where simpler phrases signaling diligence are preferred. Example sentences include: “A beszámolót igyekezettel készítették el,” meaning “They prepared the report with diligence,” and “A kutatás igyekezettel folytatódott,” meaning “The research proceeded with effort.”

Related forms and notes: The base noun igyekezet and the verb igyekezni are closely related; igyekezettel is a derived form used to convey manner. While related adjectives and paraphrastic expressions exist, igyekezettel remains a relatively formal or literary option for signaling careful effort.
