elfogadottnak

Elfogadottnak is a Hungarian participial form used as a predicative complement to indicate that something is regarded or designated as accepted. It is derived from the past participle elfogadott (accepted) with the suffix -ottnak, which marks the status or role attributed to the subject by a judgment or official designation. The construction is common in formal, administrative, and legal language.

Usage and function

The form typically appears with verbs that assign a status to a noun, such as tekint, nyilvánít, minősít, or számít. It answers questions like “how is this item regarded?” and functions similarly to a predicative adjective or a noun phrase in English phrases such as “considered accepted.” The complement is often attached to nouns referring to proposals, decisions, plans, or other formal items.

Examples

A javaslat elfogadottnak tekinthető. (The proposal can be considered accepted.)

A határozatot elfogadottnak nyilvánították. (The decision was declared accepted.)

A terv elfogadottnak minősítették. (The plan was classified as accepted.)

Grammatical note

Elfogadottnak is explicitly a form used in contexts where a status is attributed by a verb of evaluation or designation. While it is most frequent in legal, administrative, and formal writing, it can appear in public or organizational communications as well. In everyday language, speakers may use simpler expressions or alternative constructions to convey acceptance.
