Befizetett

Befizetett is a Hungarian term formed as the past participle of the verb befizet, and it functions as an adjective or participial form meaning that a payment has been made or money has been deposited into an account, institution, or fund. The prefix be- indicates direction into or toward something, and fizet means to pay; together they yield a word describing completed payments.

The word is commonly used in financial and administrative contexts to denote funds that have already been settled. It appears with nouns such as összeg (amount), adó (tax), díj (fee), and hozzájárulás (contribution), for example befizetett összeg, befizetett adó, befizetett díj. It can also describe deposits or prepayments, as in befizetett előleg (paid in advance).

Grammatical notes: befizetett functions as an adjective that agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, for instance befizetett összek, befizetett összegek. It is closely related to the noun befizetés, which designates the act or process of paying in or depositing. The verb from which it derives is befizet, meaning to pay in or deposit, while related terms include kifizetett (paid out) and befizető (the payer or depositor).

In usage, befizetett emphasizes that the payment has already occurred and the funds have been deposited, as opposed to current or future payments. It is most common in formal or written language such as contracts, bank statements, tax notices, and official receipts.
