Megoldandó

Megoldandó is a Hungarian adjective that means “to be solved” or “solvable,” used to describe a task, problem, or question that requires a solution. It is formed from the verb megoldani (to solve) with the participial suffix -andó, which marks obligation or desirability, so megoldandó literally denotes something that must or should be solved.

In everyday and educational usage, megoldandó is most common in phrases such as megoldandó feladat or megoldandó feladatok, meaning exercises or problems to be solved. The term is widely used in mathematics, science, and language education to label assignments, test items, and problem sets that prompt students to apply methods and reasoning to arrive at an answer. Beyond school contexts, megoldandó can describe unresolved issues or challenges in discussions or planning, as in megoldandó kérdés or megoldandó problémák, conveying that a solution is sought.

The form is productive in Hungarian, and it can pair with various nouns to indicate solvability or the need for a solution, including megoldandó rejtvény (a puzzle to be solved) or megoldandó feladvány (a solvable riddle). While it frequently appears in instructional material, it does not denote a specific work or entity unless used as part of a longer title or context.
