dokumentálva

Dokumentálva is a Hungarian past participle form of the verb dokumentálni, meaning to document. It functions as an adjective describing something that has been documented, or as part of a predicate indicating that documentation has occurred.

Formation and nuance: The form is created by adding the participle suffix -va to the stem dokumentál-, yielding dokumentálva. The participle carries a passive or resultative nuance and is often used in conjunction with a finite verb, for example, "A jegyzőkönyv dokumentálva lett" (The minutes were documented).

Usage: In practical writing, dokumentálva is common in contexts where documentation or recorded evidence is being described in a predicative sense. When the noun is used attributively, more typical forms are dokumentált (documented) or a phrase that indicates documentation has taken place. The word appears in administrative, archival, legal, and scientific texts, as well as journalism, to indicate that information has been officially recorded or verified.

Etymology and related terms: The word derives from the noun dokumentum (document) via the verb dokumentálni, formed with the suffix -ál- and the participle ending -va/-ve. Related terms include dokumentálás (documentation or the act of documenting), dokumentum (document), and dokumentáció (documentation or record-keeping). The distinction between dokumentálva and dokumentált often hinges on predicative vs. attributive use and formal style considerations.
