Tulajdonított

Tulajdonított is a Hungarian word formed as the past participle of the verb tulajdonít, which means to attribute or to ascribe. It functions as an adjective meaning “ascribed” and can also appear as the finite verb in past tense, indicating that someone attributed something to someone else. In English, it is commonly translated as “attributed,” “ascribed,” or “credited.”

Etymology: The form derives from the noun tulajdon (ownership) with the derivational suffix -ít, giving tulajdonít, the verb “to attribute.” The past participle tulajdonított carries the -ott/-t ending, producing phrases such as tulajdonított (attributed) or tulajdonították (they attributed). It should not be confused with related words such as tulajdonos (owner) or tulajdon (property).

Usage: A typical construction is tulajdonít v.kinek v.mit, meaning “to attribute something to someone.” For example, A találmányt a tudósnak tulajdonítják (“The invention is attributed to the scientist”). In past tense: A találmányt a tudósnak tulajdonították. The term is common in scholarly writing, journalism, and historical accounts where attribution of credit or authorship is discussed, sometimes with nuance about disputed claims.

Translations and note: In English, tulajdonított translates to “attributed,” “ascribed,” or “credited.” Related terms include tulajdon (ownership) and tulajdonos (owner). The word does not imply theft or loss; it concerns credit for a claim or discovery.
