Megnevezett

Megnevezett is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb megnevezni (to name or designate) with the prefix meg- and the past participle suffix. It means named, designated, or specified and is used to indicate that a person or thing has been named or identified in a particular context. The term is common in formal, administrative, and legal language.

In terms of grammar, megnevezett is an attributive modifier that agrees with the noun it describes in number and case. It is typically placed before the noun, as in megnevezett személy (the named person) or megnevezett helyszín (the designated location). Plural forms occur as megnevezett személyek or megnevezett helyszínek, depending on the noun being described. The word can also appear in lists or clauses that refer to items or persons already identified within a document.

Usage and nuance: megnevezett is used when there is a need to reference entities that have been specified earlier in a text, such as contracts, official notices, or procedural writings. It emphasizes that the designation is explicit within the current document or discourse, distinguishing the entities from others not named. It is related to, but distinct from, synonyms such as nevezett (named in a broader sense) and azonosított (identified), which may carry slightly different connotations.
