Elhasználódott

Elhasználódott is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb elhasználódik, meaning worn out or exhausted as a result of usage. It describes objects that have deteriorated due to long-term use, age, or strain.

In grammar it functions as a past participle that can modify a noun or appear predicatively. For example, elhasználódott alkatrész describes a worn-out component; the sentence Az alkatrész elhasználódott means the component has worn out.

Common domains include machinery and vehicles (elhasználódott alkatrész, elhasználódott gumi), textiles (elhasználódott ruhadarab), and furniture (elhasználódott bútor). The term is primarily used for inanimate objects; using it about people is possible in metaphorical sense but uncommon—kimerült or elfáradt are more typical.

Related terms: kopás (wear), kopott (worn, frayed), elhasználódás (wear and tear), használt (used). The distinction is that elhasználódott emphasizes deterioration from use, while kopott often implies surface abrasion.

Notes: The state may be reversible through repair or replacement, depending on severity. The word is common in technical, mechanical, and consumer contexts.
