Gerjesztette

Gerjesztette is a Hungarian verb form meaning “excited,” “stimulated,” or “aroused” in the past definite tense for the third person singular. It derives from the verb gerjeszt, which means to excite, provoke, or incite, and is used when the subject has caused a change in the state or activity of a person, thing, or situation. In everyday language, it can describe a person or event that prompted a reaction or heightened interest.

In scientific contexts, gerjesztés refers to the process of imparting energy to a system, leading it to a higher energy state. The resulting condition is commonly described as a gerjesztett állapot, or excited state. For example, a photon can gerjesztette az atomot, raising it to an excited state. The term is widely used in physics, chemistry, and related disciplines to discuss energy transfer, electronic transitions, and related phenomena.

In non-scientific language, gerjesztette is used metaphorically to indicate that something stirred or provoked a reaction, such as interest, debate, or emotion. Examples include phrases like a hírek gerjesztették a közvéleményt vagy a vitát gerjesztette a döntés. The form is common in both formal and informal Hungarian and functions as a standard past-tense construction for the verb gerjeszt.
