költségeivel

Költségeivel is a Hungarian noun phrase that functions as an instrumental form related to the word költség (cost, expense). It conveys the idea of “with its costs” or “with their costs” and is used when costs accompany or are considered in relation to another element in a sentence. In Hungarian, such forms combine a possessive suffix with the instrumental suffix -vel/-vel, producing endings like költségeivel to indicate accompaniment or means.

Use and context: The form occurs mainly in accounting, budgeting, financial reporting, and cost–benefit analysis, where costs are contrasted with or integrated into other figures. It can appear with verbs and phrases that express consideration, comparison, or inclusion of costs, such as számol, összevet, figyelembe vesz, vagy együtt értékel.

Examples:

- A projekt költségeivel együtt értékelik a megtérülést. (They evaluate the return together with the project’s costs.)

- A beszámoló a vállalat költségeivel és bevételeivel foglalkozik, költségeivel kapcsolatos adatok szerint. (The report deals with the company’s costs and revenues, according to cost-related data.)

- A döntést a költségeivel összhangban hozták meg. (The decision was made in line with its costs.)

Note: exact meaning depends on context and antecedent; költségeivel generally points to “with its/their costs” as an instrumental complement.
