ütve

Ütve is a Hungarian term that designates the past participle form of the verb ütni, meaning to hit. It is used to describe something that has been struck or affected by a hitting action. The form is produced from the verb stem üt- with the suffix -ve, a common Hungarian method for forming adverbial or adjectival participles from verbs.

As a participle, ütve can function adjectivally to describe objects or nouns in a state resulting from being hit. It may appear in various grammatical constructions, including attributive uses in noun phrases or in predicative positions with auxiliary elements to express a resulting condition or state.

The word is part of standard Hungarian orthography and pronunciation, and its usage covers both literal senses of being struck as well as metaphorical extensions where an object or situation has been significantly affected.

In addition to its grammatical function in Hungarian, there are no widely recognized meanings of ütve as a standalone term in other languages, and it is not commonly used as a proper noun. If encountered in sources outside Hungarian grammar, it is typically within the context of linguistic discussion of Hungarian verbal participles.
