teljesítményvel

teljesítményvel is a grammatical form in Hungarian that superficially appears to mean “with performance.” In standard usage, however, the instrumental singular of teljesítmény is normally teljesítménnyel, not teljesítményvel. The form teljessítés? No. Therefore, teljesítményvalot appears mostly as a nonstandard variant, a misspelling, or a result of casual or dialectal speech. In formal writing, you should use teljesítménnyel.

Meaning and usage

Teljesítmény means performance, achievement, or effectiveness. The instrumental case (with/through a certain attribute) is used to indicate the means by which something operates or is assessed. For example: A motor nagyobb teljesítménnyel működik (The engine operates with greater performance). A rendszer a korábbihoz képest jobb teljesítménnyel dolgozik. In this context, the phrase with the correct form teljesítménnyel is standard.

Form and orthography

The root word teljesítmény combines a verb-stem teljesít- with the nominal suffix -mény. When the instrumental suffix -vel attaches, assimilation occurs and the standard form becomes teljesítménnyel. The alternative teljesítményvel may occur in nonstandard texts, informal writing, or typographical errors. It is generally advised to prefer teljesítménnyel in formal Hungarian.

Etymology

teljesítmény derives from the verb teljesít (to fulfill, to accomplish) plus the noun-forming suffix -mény, yielding “performance” or “achievement.” The instrumental case is formed with -vel/-vel, with assimilation producing teljesítménnyel in standard usage.
