Rosszindulatúak

Rosszindulatúak is the plural form used in Hungarian to refer to entities described as malignant or malicious. The base adjective rosszindulatú combines the words rossz (bad) and indulatú (with intent or tendency), so the term conveys harmful, aggressive, or cancerous nature. In everyday language the plural form can function as a nominal group meaning “the malicious ones” or, in medical contexts, “the malignant ones,” depending on the surrounding words.

In medical usage, rosszindulatú primarily describes malignant tumors or cancers. The standard medical terms are rosszindulatú daganatok or rosszindulatú sejtek. The plural rosszindulatúak may appear in lists or shorthand references to malignant cases, but it is not the common way to name specific diseases; more precise terminology is preferred in clinical writing.

In non-medical, social contexts, rosszindulatú describes people or actions with bad or harmful intent. Here the phrase rosszindulatúak can refer to individuals or groups perceived as ill-intentioned, often as a pejorative label. Its use depends on tone and context, and it is not a clinical term in this setting.

Usage notes: when clarity is needed, specify what is malignant or harmful (for example, rosszindulatú daganatok or rosszindulatú személyek) rather than relying on the bare form rosszindulatúak. The word is widely understood in Hungarian and mirrors the English distinction between malignant and malicious, though its nuance shifts with context.
