Megemlítve

Megemlítve is a Hungarian verbal participle meaning "mentioned" or "as mentioned." It is the past participle form of the verb megemlíteni (to mention) and denotes that something has been cited or referenced in a text or discourse. In usage, megemlítve often appears as a non-finite verbal form that can function within sentences to indicate the state resulting from mentioning.

Usage and function

Megemlítve is common in written and formal Hungarian. It can appear in predicative positions to indicate that a detail has been cited, or in phrases describing a source. For example: “A jelentésben megemlítve van, hogy a költségek növekedhetnek.” (In the report it is mentioned that costs may rise.) and “A dokumentumban megemlítve van a szerző neve.” (The author’s name is mentioned in the document.) The form is often contrasted with megemlített, which is the past participle used as a pre-nominal adjective meaning “the mentioned” or “the cited.”

Distinction from megemlített

Megemlítve functions primarily as a participial phrase indicating a state resulting from mentioning, and can serve adverbially or within a clause. Megemlített, by contrast, is the adjectival past participle used to modify a noun directly (the mentioned or cited item). For example: “a megemlített tények” (the mentioned facts) versus “a jelentésben megemlítve van” (it is mentioned in the report).

Origin

Megemlítve is formed from the prefix me- plus the stem említ (to mention) with the participial suffix -ve, aligning with Hungarian verbal participle formation.
