Kihirdet

Kihirdet is a Hungarian verb meaning to publicly proclaim or publish, especially in a legal or official context. It is used to indicate the act by which a text such as a law, decree, regulation, or official notice becomes legally operative through public proclamation, typically via publication in an official gazette or similar medium.

The word is formed from the prefix ki- meaning outward or forth, combined with hirdet, the verb meaning to announce or advertise. In Hungarian, kihirdet belongs to the class of compound verbs and has a full set of tense and mood forms when conjugated. The infinitive form is kihirdetni, and kihirdetett appears as the common past tense and past participle form in many sentences.

In everyday language, kihirdet is most often encountered in legal, governmental, or formal communications. It is commonly used with direct objects such as törvényt (law), rendeletet (decree), or közleményt (notice). For example, A törvényt kihirdették means The law has been promulgated. Rendreletet kihirdette a kormány translates to The government promulgated the decree.

Related terms include kihirdetés, meaning promulgation or proclamation, referring to the act or process of making the text publicly operative, and nyilvánosságra hoz ás, a broader phrasing for bringing information to the public. In legal contexts, kihirdet is closely associated with official publication practices and the formalization of legal effect.
