Állítással

Állítással is the instrumental singular form of the Hungarian noun állítás, meaning statement or assertion. It is used to indicate the content of a claim or the means by which something is established, and it can function as a modifier or as part of a predicate in Hungarian sentences. The form is common in legal, journalistic, academic, and formal writing.

In use, állítással typically appears with verbs that express making or supporting claims, such as él, alátámaszt, cáfol, or bizonyít. It often emphasizes that a proposition is being presented or supported by a specific statement. For example: "A védő állítással él, miszerint a tanúvallomás nem megbízható," meaning that the defense makes a claim that the witness statement is unreliable. Another example: "A vizsgálat állítással alátámasztotta a hipotézist," meaning the study supported the hypothesis with (the) statement.

Related forms include állítás (statement or assertion), állító (the one who states, or claimant in some legal contexts), and állítani (to claim or assert). The instrumental állítással often foregrounds the content or evidentiary value of what is being claimed, signaling that the assertion itself is an element of argument, evidence, or discourse. In Hungarian style, the choice of állítással or other cases depends on what is being expressed and how the claim relates to the surrounding statement.
