Fektetett

Fektetett is a Hungarian past participle and adjective derived from the verb fektetni, meaning to lay down, place, or deposit. In its core sense, fektetett describes something that has already been laid, set in place, or arranged. It is commonly used to indicate a completed action and to characterize objects or arrangements that result from that action.

Morphology and usage. The form fektetett is the standard past passive participle of fektetni. It is used attributively before a noun to describe the noun as having been laid or placed (for example, fektetett padlólapok – tiles that have been laid). It can also appear in broader descriptive phrases to convey the state of being laid, deposited, or constructed. The form is invariable with respect to gender and generally mirrors number agreement with the noun it modifies (singular vs. plural).

Contexts and examples. In construction and civil engineering, fektetett is commonly found in phrases such as fektetett burkolat (laid pavement), fektetett kábelek (laid cables), or fektetett réteg (deposited or laid layer). In geology or sedimentology, it may describe materials that have been laid down as part of a stratigraphic sequence. The term is distinct from befektetett, which means invested or deployed in a financial or strategic sense.

Etymology. fektetett forms from the verb fektetni, following Hungarian participle formation patterns, with the suffix -ett signaling a completed action.
