Javítandó

Javítandó is a Hungarian present participle form of the verb javít (to repair). It belongs to the class of verbal adjectives formed with the suffix -andó (andó/-endő) to create a word that denotes something that must be or should be done, i.e., that is to be repaired. In English, javítandó translates roughly as “to be repaired” or “repairable,” depending on context. The word is used attributively before a noun, agreeing in number and case as necessary, for example: javítandó részek (parts to be repaired), javítandó hibák listája (the list of defects to be repaired).

Morphology: built from the verb stem javít- with the suffix -andó. It is a present participle in the sense of obligation or intended action, not a past participle. It is distinct from javított (repaired, past participle) and from javítás (repair, noun). The form does not carry tense by itself; tense is inferred from the sentence context or auxiliary verbs.

Usage: common in maintenance, service reports, technical manuals, and project planning to indicate items requiring repair. In documentation, you may see lists of “javítandó feladatok” (tasks to be repaired) or “javítandó hibák.” Etymology: from the verb javít with the -andó suffix.
