Megítélt

Megítélt is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb megítél, meaning to judge, decide, or award. It describes something that has been determined or granted by an authority or official body. The prefix meg- signals completion or outcome, and the suffix -t marks the past participle.

In usage, megítélt is common in legal, administrative, and financial contexts. The phrase a megítélt összeg refers to the amount awarded by a court or another decision-making authority. A megítélt büntetés denotes the sentence pronounced by a legal body. The term can describe damages, compensation, or penalties that have been officially determined or granted. As an attributive adjective, megítélt appears before the noun: megítélt összeg, megítélt kártérítés.

Megítélt does not mean estimated or megbecsült. It implies a formal decision or award rather than a mere estimation. It is distinct from ítélt, which can also mean adjudged but without the explicit sense of an award in a formal decision. In contemporary usage, megítélt tends to emphasize the outcome of an evaluative process that results in a recognized transfer or liability.
