következménnyel

Következménnyel is the instrumental case form of the Hungarian noun következmény, which means consequence or outcome. The word denotes something that follows from a preceding action or situation. In usage, következménnyel typically appears in phrases that express that an event or decision brings about a consequence. Common examples include: “A döntés következményekkel jár,” or “Ez a cselekedet következményekkel járhat.” The instrumental singular form is contrasted with the plural következményekkel, which refers to multiple consequences.

The term is formed from the verb következik (to follow) with the abstract-noun suffix -mény, yielding következmény (a thing that follows). The instrumental suffix -vel/-vel attaches to form következménnyel, indicating the means or accompaniment in a sentence. In many contexts, the plural következményekkel is more natural, because actions often have several consequences. The possessive or inanimate variations, such as következményével (with its consequence), may appear in different syntactic constructions.

Usage notes and nuance: következménnyel is typical in formal or written Hungarian when emphasizing that an action entails or brings about a consequence. It occurs most often with verbs like jár (to entail/bring) or számol (to reckon with). The word carries a neutral, descriptive tone and is a standard term in discussions of law, policy, ethics, and outcomes.
