In Hungarian, two nominals can form a coordinating construction with the és, s ‘and’ conjunctions (1a–1b). If there are more than two elements in the coordination, the juxtaposition of the first two elements is enough for expressing the nominal conjunction (1c). In the comitative relationship, one of the nominals gets a comitative-instrumental -val/-vel suffix, which can be complemented with the együtt ‘together’ postposition. In coordination, the verb can agree with the subject in number and person (1b), while in the case of the comitative construction, there is grammatical agreement (2).
