Írásával

Írásával is a Hungarian instrumental form derived from the noun írás, meaning writing or handwriting. It expresses the means or manner by which an action is performed and can be translated as “with his writing” or “by writing.” The form is used to indicate that a result, statement, or action is achieved through writing or through the writer’s written work.

Morphology and usage. The word is formed by attaching the instrumental suffix -val/-vel to the stem írás, yielding írásával. This suffix marks instrumentality or means, and its form follows Hungarian vowel harmony rules. Írásával typically appears in formal or analytic contexts, often in combination with verbs of proving, stating, or presenting, to denote that something is supported, evidenced, or conveyed through writing.

Typical functions. As an instrumental phrase, írásával appears in sentences that emphasize the method or medium of an action. It can refer to the writer’s own writings as the source of information, or to the act of writing itself as the means of communication. In many contexts, more specific expressions such as kézírásával (with one’s handwriting) or aláírásával (with one’s signature) may be used for greater precision.

Examples.

- A határozat írásával és aláírásával igazolták a jogszabály megfelelését.

- A vádakat írásával támasztotta alá.

Etymology. Írásával comes from the noun írás (writing) plus the instrumental suffix -val/-vel, with the form -ával reflecting vowel harmony. It embodies the broader Hungarian pattern of expressing means or manner through instrumental cases.
