Meghatározandó

Meghatározandó is a Hungarian verbal participle formed from the verb meghatározni, meaning to determine or define. It functions as an adjective describing something that remains to be defined or specified. The suffix -andó creates a present passive participle that expresses obligation or futurity: a thing that is to be determined.

In usage, meghatározandó is typically combined with a noun to form a noun–adjective phrase, for example meghatározandó érték (a value to be determined) or meghatározandó paraméter (a parameter to be defined). The phrase agrees with the noun in number and case, as a typical participial adjective in Hungarian.

The term is most common in formal or technical contexts, such as mathematics, computer science, law, or specification documents, where certain elements are not yet defined and are intended to be specified later. It contrasts with meghatározott (defined) and meghatározható (determinable/can be defined). Meghatározandó emphasizes that the definition has not yet been made, rather than indicating capability or completion.

Examples include sentences like: A feladat megoldásához adja meg a meghatározandó feltételeket. A meghatározandó érték pontosítása szükséges a döntéshez. These illustrate how the word governs subsequent nouns and participates in formal specifications or problem statements.
