italokkal

Italokkal is a Hungarian instrumental plural form formed from the noun ital (drink) -> italok (drinks) plus the instrumental suffix -kal. The result is a phrase meaning “with beverages” or “with drinks.” It is used to indicate accompaniment or provision of drinks in relation to another noun or situation, and is common in hospitality, catering, menus, and event descriptions.

Grammatically, italokkal is the plural instrumental form. The suffix -kal (variant of -val/-vel) attaches to the plural noun italok, with assimilation producing the double k in italokkal. This form answers questions such as “with what?” or “by means of what?” in the sense of what is offered or provided along with something else.

Usage notes: italokkal typically appears in sentences describing what is offered, served, or provided at a given setting. It can modify clauses about events, meals, or venues, and is often found in formal or semi-formal Hungarian texts related to hospitality. It is also used in menus or invitations to specify that drinks are available.

Examples:

- A rendezvényen italokkal kínálták a vendégeket.

- Az ebédhez italokkal szolgáltak.
