Meghosszabbított

Meghosszabbított is a Hungarian adjective formed as the past participle of the verb meghosszabbítani, which means to extend or prolong. When used attributively, it describes a noun as having been lengthened or extended. It can also appear in predicative constructions, especially in passive or periphrastic forms, to indicate that something has already been made longer.

Etymology and form: The word combines the root hossz (long) with the prefix meg- and the infinitive suffix -ítani to form meghosszabbítani (to extend). The past participle is meghosszabbított and is used like an ordinary adjective in agreement with the noun it modifies, without gender differences.

Usage and examples: Meghosszabbított is common in contexts such as deadlines, contracts, and schedules. Examples include meghosszabbított határidő (extended deadline), meghosszabbított szerződés (extended contract), and meghosszabbított program (extended program). In sentence form, the passive or agentive construction can be used: A határidőt meghosszabbították (They extended the deadline).

Related terms: The corresponding noun is meghosszabbítás (extension or prolongation). The base verb is meghosszabbítani, and the adjective Meghosszabbított is part of the same word family, used to describe something that has already been lengthened.

Notes: Meghosszabbított is not a proper noun or a brand; it is a grammatical form used in ordinary Hungarian prose to convey that an element has been extended.
