Halasztottak

Halasztottak is a Hungarian term that can function in two related ways: as the past tense form of the verb halasztani and as a plural noun meaning “the postponed ones.” The word reflects the concept of postponement or deferral and is used in both everyday speech and more formal contexts.

As a verb, halasztottak is the third-person plural past tense form meaning “they postponed.” It is used with an object to indicate what was postponed, for example: A találkozót halasztották (they postponed the meeting). The form can appear in various constructions where the subject performing the postponement is understood from context, such as in reports or summaries.

As a noun, halasztottak refers to people or things that have been postponed. It is a nominalized form derived from the past participle halasztott plus the plural suffix -ak. This usage is less common than more explicit phrases, but it can appear in written or procedural language, especially in lists or discussions of postponed items. Examples include a halasztottak köre (the circle of those who have postponed or been postponed) or a halasztottak listája (the list of postponed ones). In practice, the noun sense emphasizes the status or condition resulting from deferral rather than the act of postponing itself.
