Kikapcsolva

Kikapcsolva is a Hungarian term meaning turned off, deactivated, or unplugged. It is the participial form of the verb kikapcsolni (to switch off or disconnect) and functions as an adjective or a predicative expression describing a device, system, or function that is not active.

Etymology and grammar: The word combines ki- as a prefix indicating outward movement or completion with kapcsolni, the root meaning to connect or switch on. The suffix -va marks a participial form. As a participle, kikapcsolva can appear with a form of be to indicate a state, for example, a gép ki van kapcsolva (the machine is switched off). It can also appear in attributive use to describe something in the off state, though kikapcsolt is a more common attributive form in some contexts.

Usage and context: The term is widely used in electronics, computing, manuals, and signage to denote that a power supply or function is not active. It can appear in user interfaces, technical documentation, and everyday language to convey that a device has been turned off or disabled. Related forms include kikapcsolt (the past participle used as an adjective), bekapcsolva (on or enabled), and bekapcsolás/kikapcsolás (the act of turning on or off).

Examples:

- A számítógép ki van kapcsolva.

- A funkció ki van kapcsolva a beállításokban.

- A készülék kiak kapcsolva maradt.
