árammal

árammal is the instrumental case of the Hungarian noun áram, meaning current. In Hungarian, árammal is used to express means, manner, or source of energy, and can refer to electric current as well as to other kinds of flow such as a river or a current. In everyday and technical language, it often indicates that something is powered by electricity or supplied with electricity, or that an action is performed with the help of a current.

Grammatically, árammal is the singular instrumental form. The plural instrumental is áramokkal, meaning “with currents.” The form survives in a variety of contexts, including sentences about energy supply, devices, and systems. Examples include: “A készülék árammal működik” (The device operates on electricity) and “Az épületet árammal látják el” (The building is supplied with electricity).

Etymology and usage notes: árammal derives from áram, which has senses related to electrical current and to flow or movement more generally. The instrumental suffix -mal/-val marks means or accompanying circumstance, and in technical contexts it helps to specify the energy source or drive for a process or device.

In summary, árammal is a standard instrumental form used to denote “with electricity” or “powered by current,” as well as more general notions of being operated or supplied by a current. See also: áram, áramszolgáltatás, áramszünet.
