mátrixszal

Mátrixszal is the instrumental case form of the Hungarian noun mátrix, meaning matrix. It is used to express the instrument, means, or method by which an action is performed. In Hungarian, the instrumental suffix is typically -val/-vel, and when the base ends with a consonant, the form may become -szal or -ssel. For the word mátrix, the result is mátrixszal.

Usage examples illustrate its function. A számítást mátrixszal oldjuk meg. This indicates that the calculation is solved with a matrix. Az adatok mátrixszal reprezentálhatók, meaning the data can be represented using a matrix. The form thus appears in technical and mathematical prose to specify the tool or medium used in a procedure.

Related forms include the plural instrumental mátrixokkal, used when referring to multiple matrices. For example, Különböző adatsorokat mátrixokkal dolgozunk fel. This indicates handling data with matrices rather than a single matrix. The instrumental case in Hungarian broadly covers tools, means, or methods, and mátrixszal is a standard, specialized instance within mathematical and data-oriented language.
