Beküldend

Beküldend is a Hungarian non-finite verb form derived from beküld meaning “to submit” or “to send in.” It is generally considered archaic or contracted and is not commonly used in contemporary standard Hungarian. The form represents a participial stem that would function similarly to the modern beküldendő, which literally means “to be submitted” or “that must be submitted.”

Etymology and morphology: beküldend is formed from the verb beküld with the participial suffix -end, a pattern found in historical Hungarian for creating a present participle/adjectival participle with an infinitive-like sense. In modern spelling, the corresponding form is beküldendő, with the final -ő marking the normal participial adjective used to express obligation or future action.

Grammatical function and usage: beküldend (and its modern equivalent beküldendő) functions as a non-finite, participial adjective. It can modify a noun or appear in predicative constructions to convey the idea that something is to be submitted. In contemporary Hungarian, beküldendő is the preferred form; beküldend appears mainly in older texts, legal documents from earlier periods, or scholarly discussions of historical grammar.

Modern usage: Today, beküldendő is standard for “to be submitted.” Beküldend is rarely used and is typically encountered only in historical references or dictionaries noting obsolete spellings. When translating or editing older Hungarian material, beküldend may appear as part of the historical orthography or as a contracted variant.
