számítógéppel

Számítógéppel is the instrumental-comitative form of the Hungarian noun számítógép, meaning "with a computer" or "by means of a computer." It indicates accompaniment or the instrument used to perform an action (for example, "Számítógéppel dolgozom" — "I work with a computer"). The form is created by adding the suffix -vel to the stem, with phonological assimilation producing the doubled consonant seen in -ppel.

Morphologically, the suffix reflects Hungarian vowel harmony and consonant assimilation patterns. Because számítógép contains front vowels, the -vel variant is used; when attached to a consonant-final stem, the stem-final consonant is often lengthened (számítógép + -vel → számítógéppel). The plural instrumental form is számítógépekkel.

In usage, számítógéppel appears in contexts describing tools, means, or accompaniment: computing tasks, research conducted using computers, or collaborative scenarios involving a computer. It contrasts with locative forms such as számítógépen ("on a computer"), which emphasize location or platform rather than the instrumentality of the device. The form is common in both spoken and written Hungarian and follows regular case-suffixation rules, making it predictable for learners familiar with Hungarian morphology.
