Ápolókkal is a Hungarian noun phrase that functions as the instrumental plural form of ápoló, meaning nurse or caregiver. It translates to “with nurses” and is used to indicate accompaniment or means in a clause, for example when describing actions performed together with nursing staff.

In terms of grammar, ápoló is a noun whose plural is ápolók. To form the instrumental plural, Hungarian adds the suffix -kkal to the plural stem, producing ápolókkal. The corresponding singular instrumental is ápolóval (with a nurse). The form ápolókkal is common in everyday healthcare contexts and in descriptions of collaborative efforts involving nurses.

Etymology and scope: ápoló derives from the verb ápolni, meaning to care for or nurse, with the agent noun suffix -ó. Thus ápoló denotes the person performing care, and ápolókkal denotes the group of such persons as collaborators or participants in an activity. The term is neutral and descriptive, commonly found in medical, caregiving, and institutional contexts.
