Támadott

Támadott is a Hungarian word that functions as the past participle of the verb támad, meaning to attack or assault. It is used as an adjective meaning “attacked” and can also serve as a noun phrase referring to the person or entity that has been attacked, especially in legal or journalistic contexts.

The form támadott is created by adding the suffix -ott to the verb stem támad; the combination results in a double consonant at the end. As an adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, for example: támadott személy (attacked person), támadott személyt (accusative), támadott személyek (attacked persons).

Usage and nuance: támadott describes something that has undergone an attack in the past. It is distinct from támadó, which denotes the attacker or aggressor. In legal or media language you may encounter expressions like a támadott fél (the attacked party) or a támadás (an attack).

Examples:

- A támadott személyt kórházba szállították.

- A támadott fél jogi képviseletet kapott.

See also: támadás (attack), támadó (attacker), támadó fél (the aggressor).
