magunkkal

Magunkkal is a Hungarian word meaning “with us” and is the instrumental form of the first-person plural pronoun mi. It functions as an adverbial complement indicating accompaniment, possession, or the inclusion of the group’s own resources in an action. The form is built from magunk (ourselves/we) plus the instrumental suffix -kal, with the usual Hungarian assimilation after consonants. The phrase does not inflect for gender and always corresponds to the plural subject.

In usage, magunkkal typically appears with verbs of carrying, bringing, or possessing. Common constructions include “Az ételt magunkkal hozzuk” (We bring the food with us), “A pénzt magunkkal tartjuk” (We keep the money with us), and “A csomagokat magunkkal visszük” (We take the bags with us). It can also be used with other verbs to emphasize that the speaker’s group acts with its own resources or accompanies itself.

In formal writing, magunkkal is straightforward and neutral, but in very formal registers speakers may rephrase to avoid repetition or to emphasize collective responsibility. Related forms exist for other persons: magammal (with me), magával (with him/her/you formal), magatokkal (with you all), magukkal (with them). These forms function similarly as instrumental pronouns within Hungarian sentence structure.
