Archiválódnak

Archiválódnak is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they are archived” or “they become archived.” It is the third-person plural present tense of archiválódik, an intransitive verb that expresses a process or resulting state rather than a deliberate action performed by a subject. The form is commonly used to describe items that undergo or have undergone archival treatment and are kept for long-term preservation or compliance with retention policies.

Linguistically, archiválódik belongs to the middle/passive voice, typically indicating that the subject experiences the effect of archiving. The noun it derives from is archíválás (archiving). The suffix -ódik signals a passive or reflexive nuance, while -nak marks the plural third-person present form.

Common usage contexts include libraries, archives, government record-keeping, and IT or corporate data management. It is often found in formal or administrative language when describing how documents, records, emails, or datasets are managed over time. The focus is on the state of being stored in an archive, rather than on who performs the archiving.

- A régi dokumentumok archiválódnak a hosszú távú megőrzés céljából.

- A digitális adatok egy része archiválódik a jogi és megőrzési előírásoknak megfelelően.

- Az e-mail-levelezés egyes részei gyakran archiválódnak, hogy megőrizhető legyen a történeti nyomvoma.
