Kiszabott

Kiszabott is a Hungarian past participle and adjective derived from the verb kiszab, meaning to impose or levy a penalty, tax, fee, or other charge. In official or bureaucratic language, it describes an amount or consequence that has been set by an authority and is due or payable. In English, it is commonly translated as “imposed,” “levied,” or “assessed.”

The form is created by adding the suffix -ott to the verb stem kiszab. It is typically used attributively before a noun, for example kiszabott bírság (an imposed fine) or kiszabott díj (a levied fee). While the participle can occur in predicative constructions, Hungarian often prefers other verb forms to express completed actions of imposing, such as kiszabták a bírságot (they imposed the fine).

Usage and register are mainly legal, administrative, and formal writing. Kiszabott appears in statutes, official notices, court documents, and media reports describing penalties, fees, or sums that have been determined by authorities. It conveys a sense of formal authority and finality associated with the imposition.
