Hozzádott

Hozzádott is a form that appears in connection with the Hungarian verb hozzáad, meaning “to add to.” In contemporary standard Hungarian, the common past participle of hozzáad is hozzáadott, which is used as an adjective or in compound tenses to mean “added.” The form hozzádott is not the standard past participle and is considered nonstandard in modern usage; it may be encountered only in dialectal contexts, historical texts, or as a mistaken spelling.

Etymology and morpho-syntax: hozzádott is built from the prefix hozzá- (toward/onto, with the sense of “adding to”) plus the verb ad (to give) with the past participle suffix -ott. The canonical form for “added” is hozzáadott, as in hozzáadott érték (added value) or a számlához hozzáadott költség (cost added to the invoice). The prefix hozá- often attaches to verbs starting with ad, resulting in spellings like hozzáadott in standard usage.

Usage: The standard, widely accepted form is hozzáadott. It appears in contexts such as economics, literature, and everyday language to denote something that has been appended or included. Example uses include: hozzáadott érték (added value), a könyvhöz hozzáadott jegyzetek (notes added to the book). If one encounters hozzádott, it is advisable to consider it a nonstandard or dialectal variant and prefer hozzáadott in formal or written Hungarian.

See also: hozzá- prefix, ad (to give), hozzáadás (addition), hozzáadott érték (added value).

In summary, hozzádott is a nonstandard variant related to the standard verb form hozzáadott. For clear, grammatically correct writing, the standard form hozzáadott should be used.
