cselekedetet

Cselekedetet is the definite direct-object form of the Hungarian noun cselekedet, which means act or deed. In Hungarian grammar, when the act in question is definite or identifiable, the noun takes the definite direct-object suffix, producing cselekedetet. The form signals that the act is a specific thing under discussion, rather than any general act.

Etymology and morphology: The base cselekedet comes from cselekedni (to act) with the abstract-noun suffix -et. The definite direct-object suffix in Hungarian typically attaches as -et in this context, yielding cselekedetet for “the act” as a definite object. This pattern is part of a broader system in which nouns can take different endings to mark definiteness, case, and possession.

Usage: Cselekedetet is primarily found in formal or written Hungarian—legal opinions, philosophical arguments, historical narratives—where the author treats the act as a defined unit. For indefinite references, the bare form cselekedet is used; for other cases or possessive forms, related variants include cselekedeté (his/her act) and other inflected forms.

Examples: A cselekedetet megítélte a bíróság. (The court judged the act.) Nincs egyértelmű bizonyíték a cselekedetet illetően. (There is no clear evidence regarding the act.) These examples illustrate how cselekedetet functions as a definite object within a sentence.
