Indokoltak

Indokoltak is a Hungarian term that combines the adjective indokolt, meaning justified or warranted, with the plural suffix -ak. In written and formal Hungarian, indokoltak can function as a noun phrase meaning “the justified ones” or “those who have justification.” It is primarily used in administrative, legal, or policy contexts to refer to people, cases, or decisions that are deemed justified under a rule, regulation, or official analysis.

Usage and meanings

The word communicates that a claim, request, action, or status has been found to have sufficient grounds or justification. It may appear in documents that describe outcomes, eligibility, or the allocation of rights and remedies where certain parties are recognized as justified recipients. Because it is a formal term, indokoltak is more common in bureaucratic or legal prose than in everyday conversation.

Relation to related terms

Indokolt is typically paired with related words such as indoklás (justification or explanation) and indokolt döntés (a justified decision). The term contrasts with indokolatlan, meaning unwarranted or unjustified. While indokoltak aims to identify those who meet criteria of justification, more precise wording is often preferred in precise legal or regulatory drafting.

Etymology and grammar

The base indok means reason or justification, while -olt forms an adjective implying possession of that quality. The plural -ak marks number and can function as a noun plural in certain contexts. As a result, indokoltak can be encountered as a nominalized form referring to people or cases identified as justified.
