Lopott

Lopott is a Hungarian adjective meaning "stolen." It is the past participle form of the verb lopni, which means "to steal." The word is used to describe property, objects, or goods that have been taken without the owner's permission.

In everyday language, lopott usually appears before a noun as a modifier, producing phrases such as lopott autó (a stolen car) or lopott eszköz (a stolen device). It can also be used predicatively in a sentence, as in Az autó lopott (The car is stolen). The term is common in conversations about theft, police reports, insurance matters, and media coverage of crimes.

Etymology comes from lopni plus the past participle suffix -ott. The term is standard in Hungarian orthography and is widely understood across Hungarian-speaking regions. Common related expressions include lopott holmi (stolen goods) and lopott ingóság (stolen personal property). While not a proper noun, lopott frequently appears in headlines and notes about theft or the disposition of recovered or seized items.
