megnyomásával

Megnyomásával is a magyar instrumentális form of the noun megnyomás, which means the act or process of pressing. The term is formed from the verb megnyomni (to press) with the nominalizing suffix -ás to yield megnyomás, and then the instrumental suffix -ával/-vel to indicate means or method, resulting in megnyomásával. The pronunciation and spelling reflect Hungarian vowel harmony, with the back-vowel ending causing -ával to be used.

Usage and meaning: Megnyomásával denotes the means by which an action is performed, specifically by pressing something such as a button, key, or switch. It is common in instructional, technical, and formal prose where the method of activation or operation is described. The construction typically precedes the main verb in a sentence, as an instrumental adverbial phrase.

Examples:

- A gomb megnyomásával indítható el a folyamat. (The process can be started by pressing the button.)

- A készülék bekapcsolható a gomb megnyomásával. (The device can be turned on by pressing the button.)

- A beállítás megnyomásával érhető el a menü. (The menu is reachable by pressing the setting.)

Notes: Megnyomásával is distinct from nyomásával (by its pressure) and from megnyomás (the act of pressing as a noun). The form is primarily used when describing instrumentally how an action is performed, rather than describing a physical pressure or force.
