Meghoztatok

Meghoztatok, commonly known as "I declare" or "I announce" in Hungarian, is a formal phrase used in Hungarian legal and administrative contexts to signify the official declaration or announcement of a decision, ruling, or legal act. The term originates from the Hungarian verb *meghoz*, meaning "to decide," combined with the suffix *-tatok*, which indicates a plural imperative form, addressing multiple parties.

In Hungarian legal practice, *meghoztatok* is often found in judicial or administrative documents where an authority issues a binding decision. For example, in court rulings, the phrase may appear at the end of a judgment to formally declare the court's decision to the parties involved. It serves as a formal closure, ensuring clarity and legal weight to the document. The use of *meghoztatok* reflects the Hungarian legal tradition of precise and authoritative language in official communications.

The phrase is distinct from similar constructions in other languages, as it directly addresses the recipients of the decision, reinforcing the binding nature of the announcement. While primarily used in formal settings, its appearance in documents underscores the importance of clarity and procedural correctness in Hungarian law. The term remains a key element in legal writing, maintaining its relevance in both historical and contemporary contexts.
