Égésükkel

Égésükkel is a Hungarian instrumental plural form built from the noun égés (burn, burn injury) with the possessive suffix for third person plural (-ük) and the instrumental suffix (-kel). The result, égésükkel, literally means “with their burns” and is used to refer to burns that belong to a group of people.

Etymology and morphology

The base word égés denotes a burn or burn injury. To indicate possession by multiple subjects, Hungarian adds the third-person plural possessive suffix -ük (-ük following vowel harmony). To express “with” using the instrumental case, the suffix -kel is attached, yielding égésükkel. The linking vowels reflect standard Hungarian vowel harmony and ease of pronunciation.

Usage and context

Égésükkel is primarily a formal or descriptive construction found in medical, forensic, or official texts, and occasionally in journalism or witness statements. In everyday language, speakers more often use phrases such as égési sérülésekkel (with burn injuries) or beszél a sérüléseiről. Égésükkel focuses on the burns themselves as a characteristic of the people being described.

Examples

- A sérültek égésükkel együtt érkeztek a kórházba.

- A vizsgálat során megállapították, hogy égésükkel járó fájdalom jelentősen befolyásolja a rehabilitációt.
