Készítve

Készítve is a Hungarian past participle of the verb készíteni, meaning to make or to prepare. It denotes that something has been prepared or made and is used to express a resulting state as well as in verbal constructions with auxiliary verbs to indicate readiness or completion.

Etymology and form: The word is formed from the verbal stem készít- combined with the participial suffix -ve, yielding a unit that can function as an adjective or as part of a predicate with auxiliary verbs such as van or volt. In practice, készítve conveys that a product, dish, or process has been completed by preparation.

Usage and meaning: Készítve is commonly found in cooking, manufacturing, and packaging contexts to indicate that an item is ready or has been produced. It can describe a state of completion in general language and appears on labels or in instructions to signal that an element has already been prepared. The participle can be used predicatively with forms of van/volt (e.g., készítve van) or attributively to describe a noun in a state resulting from preparation.

Examples: In everyday language one might encounter sentences such as “A leves készítve van” meaning “The soup is prepared,” or “A desszert készítve érkezett” meaning “The dessert arrived prepared.” These illustrate the typical sense of finished preparation rather than the action of preparing itself.

Translations and equivalents: Készítve translates roughly as “made” or “prepared” in English, indicating a produced or ready state. It contrasts with forms that emphasize the act of preparation itself.
