Megnyomott

Megnyomott is a Hungarian adjective and past participle derived from the verb megnyomni, meaning to press down or push. It describes something that has undergone the action of pressing.

The form is built from the root nyom- (to press) with the prefix meg- indicating completion, plus the past participle suffix -ott. As an adjective, megnyomott agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. Examples include a megnyomott gomb (the pressed button), a megnyomott gombok (the pressed buttons), and egy megnyomott gombot in the accusative singular.

Usage is mainly in contexts involving physical controls and mechanisms, such as buttons, switches, or touch interfaces, as well as in manuals and product descriptions. For instance: A megnyomott gomb azonnal reagált. The phrase signals that a control has been activated by pressing. In user interface language, megnyomott describes a state resulting from user interaction, rather than an ongoing action.

Translations into English typically render megnyomott as "pressed" or "pushed down." See also related terms such as megnyomás (the act of pressing) and nyomás (pressure).
