lépéseivel

Lépéseivel is a Hungarian phrase that means “with his steps” or “with its steps.” It is formed from a base noun meaning step (lépés) combined with a possessive form and the instrumental suffix to indicate the means or manner by which an action is performed. The result is a word that denotes accompaniment or manner, depending on the possessor of the steps.

Grammatically, lépéseivel illustrates Hungarian morphology in action: lépés provides the root meaning, the possessive element links the noun to a specific subject (his, her, its), and the instrumental suffix -ivel marks the means or method. The phrase can be used with various subjects in both prose and poetry, and it often appears in metaphorical or descriptive contexts to emphasize movement, rhythm, or deliberate action.

In usage, lépéseivel is typically part of a larger clause rather than standing alone. For example, a sentence might read: A táncos lépéseivel jelölte a ritmust. (“The dancer indicated the rhythm with his steps.”) The expression is common in literary language, where it can contribute a vivid sense of motion or presence.

Etymology and related forms: lépés (step) gives rise to lépések (steps) and lépése (his/her/its step), with the instrumental suffix -ivel forming lépéseivel. Related terms explore similar instrumental constructions and the broader function of suffixal morphology in Hungarian noun phrases.
