veszéllyel

Veszéllyel is a Hungarian instrumental form derived from the noun veszély, meaning danger. It functions as part of the instrumental case with the particle vel/vel to indicate “with danger.” In practice, it appears most often in compound constructions such as veszéllyel járó, which translates roughly to “danger-involved” or “dangerous” in the sense of a situation, action, or activity that entails risk. The form is primarily used in formal, literary, or technical Hungarian rather than in everyday speech.

Etymology and form: The base word veszély denotes danger. The instrumental suffix -vel (or -vel with vowels) attaches to form veszéllyel, meaning “with danger.” This form can modify nouns in compounds (veszéllyel járó körülmények, veszéllyel járó tevékenység) or appear as part of adverbial or adjectival phrases describing risk or hazard.

Usage and examples: Veszéllyel is relatively rare in colloquial language and is favored in written, legal, or journalistic styles when emphasizing risk as a condition. Examples include: “Dolgoznak veszéllyel járó körülmények között” (They work under dangerous conditions) and “Ez a tevékenység veszéllyel járó” (This activity is dangerous / involves danger). The phrase veszéllyel járó is the most common way to express that something entails danger, as opposed to the more general adverbial veszélyesen (dangerously).

Relation to related forms: The base veszély yields several related forms: veszély (noun), veszélyes (adjective, dangerous), veszélyesen (adverb, dangerously), and veszéllyel (instrumental/with danger). The term is best understood within the broader Hungarian system of noun-based instrumental formations used to convey means or conditions.
