Megnövekedett

Megnövekedett is a Hungarian adjective and past participle derived from the verb megnövekedni, meaning to increase or to grow. It is used to describe something that has become larger, greater, or more numerous than its previous state, such as a quantity, size, value, or intensity.

The word is formed with the prefix meg- attached to növekedett (the past participle of növekedni). In use it functions as an attributive or predicative adjective and agrees with the noun in number and case, for example: megnövekedett kereslet (increased demand), megnövekedett testsúly (increased body weight), megnövekedett adóbevétel (increased tax revenue).

In terms of register and usage, megnövekedett is most common in formal or technical writing, such as economics, statistics, medicine, and news reporting. It conveys a definite change from a prior state and is often paired with quantitative or qualitative nouns to highlight growth or expansion. By contrast, the simpler növekedett or növekszik may be used when the emphasis is on the action of growing rather than the completed change.

See also: növekedés (growth); növekszik (to grow). Megnövekedett provides a concise way to describe a completed increase and is part of standard Hungarian descriptive vocabulary.
