befektetett

Befektetett is a Hungarian adjective and past participle derived from the verb befektet ("to invest", "to put in"). Linguistically, it combines the prefix be- ("in/into") with fektet ("to lay/put"), and is used to describe something that has been placed, allocated or committed, especially resources such as capital, time or effort.

In everyday use, befektetett appears in phrases like befektetett tőke (invested capital) or befektetett munka (work that has been put into a project). Its closest synonyms include beruházott and elhelyezett, though nuances vary by context. In translation it most often corresponds to "invested" or "placed."

In accounting and finance, befektetett is a technical term in compound expressions such as befektetett eszközök, which denotes long-term assets (including intangible assets, tangible fixed assets and long-term financial investments). There it contrasts with forgóeszközök (current assets) and conveys an expectation of prolonged economic use or return.

Usage also extends to legal, business and everyday contexts to indicate commitment or allocation with an implied duration or purpose. As an adjectival form, it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies and can appear in passive constructions or as part of compound nouns.
