rámutatva

Rámutatva is a Hungarian adverbial participle formed from rámutat, meaning “to point out” or “to indicate.” The participle rámutatva expresses the manner or circumstance of the action in the main clause, roughly translating to “by pointing out” or “pointing to.” It is a non-finite verb form used to connect clauses in a sentence, often in written or formal prose.

Formation and use: rámutatva is created by adding the suffix -va to the verb stem rámutat. As an adverbial participle, it conveys accompanying action or method rather than a separate, finite clause. It can appear at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence, usually separated from the main clause by a comma. In many contexts, rámutatva serves to illustrate how something is done or to indicate evidence or demonstration.

Examples:

- Rámutatva az irányra, a tanár megmutatta, merre kell menni.

- A térképre rámutatva mutatta meg a csapatnak az útvonalat.

Notes: rámutatva is closely related to rámutat, but functions as a non-finite form used for adverbial purposes. Its use tends toward formal, descriptive, or instructional styles, and it is less common in everyday speech, where finite clauses or other constructions are typically preferred.
