Választottak

Választottak is a Hungarian plural noun formed from the adjective és participle választott, meaning chosen or elected. The word derives from választozni meaning to choose or elect, and is used in two main senses: as a noun referring to people who have been chosen or elected, and as an adjective describing those people or groups as having been chosen.

In political or administrative language, választottak refers to individuals who have been elected to public office. In everyday modern usage, however, megválasztottak is the more common term for “the elected.” Nevertheless, választottak can appear in formal or legal texts, for example in phrases like “a választottak jogai” (the rights of the elected) or in historical accounts describing past elections and officeholders. The exact meaning often depends on context and accompanying words.

In religious or philosophical contexts, választottak may denote “the elect” or “the chosen ones,” referring to a group selected by divine or transcendent criteria. In Hungarian translations and discussions of biblical or theological topics, kiválasztottak or különösen jelöltek are more typical, but választottak can still be encountered to convey a similar idea of being chosen for a special purpose.

Summary: választottak is a versatile Hungarian term tied to the concept of selection or election, with usages spanning political, legal, and religious domains. In contemporary political writing, megválasztottak is generally preferred for “the elected,” while választottak appears in more formal, historical, or religious contexts.
