Elkövetje

Elkövetje is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to commit" or "to perpetrate" in English. It is most commonly used in legal and criminal contexts to describe the act of carrying out a crime or offense. The verb is derived from the root "elkövet," which means "to commit" or "to do."

The past tense of elkövetje is "elkövette," meaning "he/she/it committed." For example, "A tolvaj elkövette a lopást" translates to "The thief committed the theft." In the plural, it would be "elkövették," meaning "they committed."

Elkövetje can also be used in a broader sense to describe the act of committing any wrongdoing, not necessarily a legal one. For instance, one might say "rossz döntést elkövetni," meaning "to make a bad decision." However, its primary association remains with criminal acts.

The noun form derived from elkövetje is "elkövetés," which translates to "commission" or "perpetration." This noun refers to the act itself rather than the actor. For example, "Az elkövetés módja" means "the method of commission." Understanding elkövetje is crucial for comprehending Hungarian legal terminology and discussions surrounding crime and accountability.
