Generáltak

Generáltak is a Hungarian term formed as the plural past participle of the verb generál (to generate). It functions primarily as a modifier or as a substantive referring to items produced by a generating process. In normal usage, the form generált is the adjective meaning generated, while generáltak can appear when the speaker wants to denote “the generated ones” or “the generated items” as a group.

Linguistic usage

As an adjective, generált describes attributes of nouns, for example generált adatok (generated data), generált fájlok (generated files), or generált eredmények (generated results). When used as a noun phrase, generáltak can occur in technical or shorthand contexts to refer to a set of generated items, though in standard prose it is more common to specify the item type (e.g., adatok, fájlok).

Contexts and domains

Generáltak are commonly encountered in computing, data science and software testing, where data, logs, or results are produced automatically by software, simulations, or algorithms. They are also used in discussions of synthetic or regenerated content, where the emphasis is on what has been produced rather than on the process itself. In Hungarian, more explicit expressions such as generált adatok or szintetikus adatok are often preferred for clarity.

Etymology and related terms

The form derives from generál with the Hungarian suffixes for participles and plurals. Related terms include generálás (generation), generátor (generator), and szintetikus (synthetic), which is commonly paired with adatok to denote non-original data.
