Szerelve

Szerelve is a Hungarian past participle form of the verb szerelni, meaning to assemble, fit, or install. In everyday language it denotes that something has been installed, assembled, or equipped. The participle is used in both predicative constructions and, less commonly, as an attributive modifier.

In practical use, szerelve most often appears with an auxiliary verb, especially in the forms van or volt: be van szerelve, has been installed. For example, “A motor be van szerelve az autóba” conveys that the engine is installed in the car. When used attributively, Hungarian generally prefers the form szerelt rather than szerelve, so you would typically encounter “szerelt készülék” (an assembled device) rather than “szerelve készülék.”

Etymology and related terms: The form is derived from the verb szerelni, with the suffix that forms past participles. Related words include szerelés (installation or fitting), szerelő (installer or technician), and beépített (built-in) or telepített (installed), which describe similar ideas of preparation and installation but with different nuances and contexts.

Notes: Szerelve primarily conveys status—the fact that installation or assembly has already occurred—rather than the act itself. Its precise usage can vary with context, technical register, and regional language habits.
