Beolvasott

Beolvasott is the past participle and adjectival form of the Hungarian verb beolvas, literally composed of the prefix be- ("in") and olvas ("read"). As a lexical item it appears in several related senses in modern Hungarian, both in formal and colloquial registers.

In technical and administrative contexts beolvasott commonly describes material that has been scanned or digitized (documents, images, records) or data that has been read into a system. In publishing and audiovisual work it denotes narrated or recorded spoken text (a beolvasott szöveg is a voice-over or an audio recording of a text). These uses emphasize the action of transferring written or physical content into a different medium or format.

Colloquially, beolvasott can also refer to a pointed verbal reprimand or a sharp retort: someone who beolvasott another person has delivered a scolding, witty put-down, or public criticism. In this sense the noun beolvasás denotes the act of "reading someone out" or "calling someone out."

Grammatically, beolvasott functions as an adjective and may be used attributively (beolvasott dokumentum) or predicatively (a szöveg beolvasott). Related forms include the verb beolvas and the noun beolvasás. Usage and nuance depend on context, and the word is widespread in both everyday speech and specialized domains such as computing, media production, and administrative practice.
