kegyetlenséggel

Kegyetlenséggel is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in a cruel manner; with cruelty.” It is formed from the noun kegyetlenség (cruelty) with the instrumental suffix -vel (or -gel), used to indicate the manner or means by which an action is carried out. The word is typically found in descriptive, legal, or formal literary contexts to emphasize the severity of an act.

Grammatically, kegyetlenséggel functions as an adverb of manner and can modify verbs to describe how an action is performed. It often appears in sentences that detail the severity of treatment or the method by which something was done. The form is somewhat formal or literary; in everyday speech, speakers more commonly use adverbs such as kegyetlenül (cruelly).

Usage examples:

- A gyilkosságot kegyetlenséggel követték el. (The murder was committed with cruelty.)

- A férfit kegyetlenséggel bánták. (The man was treated cruelly.)

- Az intézkedést kegyetlenséggel hajtották végre. (The measure was carried out with cruelty.)

Related terms include kegyetlenség (cruelty) and kegyetlen (cruel). The adverb kegyetlenül (cruelly) is often preferred in more colloquial or widely used contexts, while kegyetlenséggel emphasizes the aspect of cruelty as a characteristic of the action. As a lexical item, kegyetlenséggel occupies a niche role in formal or descriptive prose detailing severe or inhumane conduct.
