Nyomott

Nyomott is a Hungarian adjective and the past participle of the verb nyomni, meaning to press, push or imprint. The primary sense is that something has undergone pressure or has been created by stamping or pressing. In everyday use it can describe a physical effect, such as a surface bearing an imprint or an indentation caused by a stamp or press. It can also refer to designs, patterns or text that have been produced by pressing or stamping.

In practice, nyomott is often found in contexts involving imprinted or stamped features, for example nyomott mintázat (imprinted pattern) or nyomott felirat (stamped inscription). When referring to text or images produced by printing, the more common term is nyomtatott, but nyomott can still appear in descriptions of imprint-based production or in design language.

Usage and nuance: nyomott emphasizes the result of pressure or imprinting—the thing that bears the mark of being pressed. It is used across various domains, including manufacturing, design, and art, to convey that an object carries an imprint or stamped feature. It is not a proper noun and functions as an ordinary Hungarian adjective; it agrees with the noun it modifies.

Related terms include nyomás (pressure) and nyomtatás (printing). While nyomtatott is generally preferred for printed text or images, nyomott remains appropriate when the emphasis is on imprinting, stamping, or the presence of an embossed or pressed mark.
