érvénnyel

érvénnyel is the instrumental form of the Hungarian noun érvény, which denotes validity, legal force, or effect. In official and legal texts, érvénnyel is used to express “by virtue of its validity” or “with its force,” referring to a document, rule, or law that is in effect.

Form and morphology: The base is érvény; the instrumental singular form is érvénnyel, and the plural instrumental is érvényekkel. The stem ends in -ny, so the suffix -vel yields érvénnyel. This form is typical for nouns ending in -ny when combined with the instrumental case.

Usage: The term is mainly found in formal or legal writing. It signals the instrument or basis of validity rather than describe something in ordinary speech. It is commonly encountered in discussions of laws, regulations, and official documents to indicate that something operates by virtue of its validity or force.

Etymology and relation: Érvény is the root noun meaning validity or force, and érvénnyel is the instrumental case derived from it through the standard Hungarian suffixation pattern. Related terms include érvényesség (validity or enforceability), hatály (in force), and jogszabály (law or regulation).
