körülményekkel

Körülményekkel is the instrumental plural form of the noun körülmény, meaning “circumstances” or “conditions.” It is used to express “with the circumstances” or to indicate that an action or assessment takes those conditions into account, often in phrases that describe alignment or interaction with the surrounding situation.

In Hungarian, the instrumental plural is formed by adding -kkel/-kel to the plural stem; thus körülményekkel. This form marks accompaniment, means, or alignment with the circumstances. It appears in constructions such as körülményekkel összhangban (in accordance with the circumstances), körülményekkel együtt (together with the circumstances), or körülményekkel kapcsolatos (related to the circumstances) when modifying a noun.

Common contexts include formal, legal, economic, and journalistic writing, where speakers explain decisions, plans, or assessments as shaped by existing conditions or constraints. The phrase conveys a sense of external conditions that influence actions, rather than a direct action by a subject.

Examples:

A döntést a körülményekkel összhangban hozták.

A projektet a körülményekkel összhangban tervezik.

A sajtóközlemény a körülményekkel kapcsolatos tényezőket említi.
