Átvitteti

Átvitteti is a Hungarian verb form derived from the verb átvinni (or its variant átvinnni in some analyses), meaning to transfer, move across, or bring over. Átvitteti functions as the causative form, indicating that someone causes another party to perform the act of transferring. It is formed with the causative suffix -tet- (or -tett-) attached to the verb stem, followed by the third-person singular ending -i, yielding a finite form that is used in narrative and formal language.

Etymology and morphology: the base is átvinni, which combines the prefix át- (across) with vinni (to bring, to carry). The causative construction expresses that an agent compels or arranges the transfer by another subject. The resulting form, átvitteti, is primarily seen in written Hungarian, especially in formal, bureaucratic, or older literary contexts. It is one of several causative patterns in Hungarian that convey “to cause to [do X].”

Usage and context: átvitteti appears most commonly in formal prose, legal language, official reports, and historical texts where an actor is described as causing the transfer of documents, data, goods, or rights. In everyday speech, speakers more often use non-causative formulations such as átvinni or simpler periphrastic constructions. The form is typically finite and agrees with the subject in person and number, and its presence signals a layered agency: one party causes another to perform the transfer.
