Bizonyító

Bizonyító is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb bizonyítani, meaning to prove. It denotes something that provides proof or substantiates a claim and is most often used in compound expressions. Common examples include bizonyító eszköz (an evidentiary tool), bizonyító okirat (a document that proves something), and bizonyító tény (a fact that proves a point). The standalone use of bizonyító as a noun is rare, but in legal language it can appear in compounds such as bizonyító tanú, referring to a witness who provides proof.

In everyday Hungarian, speakers typically use nouns such as bizonyíték or bizonyítás to denote evidence or proof. Bizonyító emphasizes the function of proving rather than the object itself, and tends to appear in formal or technical contexts.

In legal contexts, bizonyító tény or bizonyító okirat serve to establish claims; in science and research, phrases like bizonyító adatok or bizonyító vizsgálat describe data or tests that support a hypothesis.

Etymology and related terms: The word comes from the verb bizonyítani, with the suffix -ó forming an adjective; related terms include bizonyíték (evidence), bizonyítás (proof, demonstration), and the compounds bizonyító tanú and bizonyító okirat.
