résztvevkkel

résztvevkkel is a Hungarian instrumental plural form of the noun résztvevő, which means participant. It is used to indicate accompaniment or involvement, translating to “with the participants” in English. The form appears in formal or written Hungarian when one wants to reference participants as the accompanying or involved group.

Formation and spelling

The base word is résztvevő (participant). In plural it becomes résztvevők (participants). To express the instrumental plural, Hungarian adds the suffix -kel after the plural, resulting in résztvevőkkel. The apparent double “k” in -kkel arises from combining the plural suffix -k with the instrumental suffix -kel, yielding the fused formRésztvevőkkel. This suffix pattern is common for instruments or accompaniment in Hungarian, where -val/-vel combines with the plural -k to form -kkal/-kkel.

Usage

résztvevkkel occurs in sentences where the participants are the ones with whom something is done or who are present. Examples: A konferencián résztvevőkkel egyeztették a programot. (The organizers consulted with the participants at the conference.) A projekt során a résztvevőkkel együtt dolgoztunk. (During the project we worked together with the participants.) It can also appear in prepositional phrases meaning “together with the participants.”

Etymology

The term derives from részt venni (to participate) plus the agent noun suffix -ő, plus the plural and instrumental suffixes to yield résztvevőkkel.
