Megállapított

Megállapított is a Hungarian past participle form of the verb megállapít, meaning to determine, ascertain, or establish. In contemporary usage it can function both as a participle/adjective and as a finite verb form in past tense, depending on context.

As a participle, megállapított typically serves as an attributive modifier in noun phrases, meaning “established” or “ascertained.” Common collocations include megállapított tény (established fact) or megállapított adatok (ascertained data). In this role it agrees with the noun in number and gender, and is often used in formal writing, such as legal, scientific, or administrative texts.

As a finite verb form, megállapít is used in past tense constructions. The third-person singular past definite form is megállapította (he/she determined), and the past tense forms across persons follow standard Hungarian conjugation patterns. The past participle megállapított is also used in compound tenses with auxiliary forms, for example in sentences like a vizsgálat megállapította az eredményt (the study determined the result).

Etymology and morphology: the word is built from the prefix meg- plus the root állapít, with the past participle suffix -ott, producing megállapított. The element meg- adds a sense of completion or totalization, consistent with meanings like “established” or “confirmed.”

Notes: Megállapított is common in formal or official discourse, especially in reports, studies, proceedings, and legal texts. Related terms include megállapítás (a finding or determination) and állapítás (an assertion or statement).
