Megkötve

Megkötve is a Hungarian term that functions as the past participle of the verb megköt, meaning to bind, fasten, or restrain. It denotes a state resulting from the act of binding and can be used as an adjective or as part of a predicative construction. The prefix meg- conveys completion or a resulting condition, while köt means to bind or tie; the suffix -ve marks the participial form.

Usage of megkötve covers both physical and figurative binding. In physical contexts it describes objects that have been restrained or tied, for example, a rope or cord that has been tied: a kötél megkötve lógott. In predicative constructions it indicates a state of restraint, as in kezeit megkötve tartották (they held his hands bound). The form can also appear in noun phrases such as megkötött kötél (a tied rope) or megkötött szerződés (a binding contract), where it conveys that a binding or commitment has been established.

In translation, megkötve yields English equivalents such as bound, tied up, restrained, or constrained, depending on context. The term is common in standard Hungarian usage, including descriptive writing, legal language, and everyday speech, where a completed binding action or the resulting state needs to be expressed succinctly.
