Meghatározottak

Meghatározottak is the plural form of meghatározott, a Hungarian adjective meaning "defined" or "specified." It is used to refer to entities that have been defined in a given context and can function as an adjective modifying a noun or, when the noun is understood from context, as a nominal group meaning "the defined ones." The word stems from meghatározni, to determine or define, with the past participle meghatározott; the suffix -ak marks plural form.

In formal texts such as legal documents, administrative guidelines, or academic writing, meghatározottak often denotes a subset of a larger set characterized by defined criteria. For example: A meghatározottak közé tartozó személyek jogosultak a kedvezményekre; A meghatározott feltételek teljesítését vizsgálják. In everyday language, speakers typically avoid the bare form meghatározottak and instead specify the noun: meghatározott személyek, meghatározott feltételek.

Usage notes:

- The term is most common in contexts where a group is distinguished by explicit criteria or rules.

- The form is flexible: it can refer to people, objects, conditions, or any items singled out by definition.
