csökkentett

Csökkentett is a Hungarian adjective meaning reduced or lowered. It is formed from the verb csökkenteni (to reduce) with the participial suffix -ett, producing a descriptor that marks a deviation downward from a standard or baseline. The term is widely used across everyday language as well as in technical, economic, and administrative contexts to indicate that a value, level, or quality has been diminished.

In usage, csökkentett typically precedes the noun it modifies, creating phrases such as csökkentett ár (reduced price), csökkentett dózis (reduced dosage), csökkentett zaj (reduced noise), csökkentett energiafogyasztás (reduced energy consumption), or csökkentett zsírtartalmú tejtermékek (low-fat dairy products). It can describe quantities (mennyiség), rates (kamat) or specifications (teljesítmény, zajszint). The meaning implies intentional change or regulatory standard, rather than an accidental drop.

Grammar and nuance: csökkentett behaves as an attributive adjective, agreeing with the noun in number and case. It is closely related to synonyms such as alacsonyabb, kisebb mértékű, or kevesebb, but carries a sense of an explicit reduction relative to a reference level. In specialized discourse, it often pairs with technical nouns to signal compliance with reduced specifications or consumer-appropriate adjustments.
