fizetetlen

Fizetetlen is a Hungarian adjective meaning "not paid" or "unpaid." It is formed from the verb fizet (to pay) with the suffix -etlen, which yields a predicative adjective describing something that has not been paid. The term is commonly used in financial, accounting, and legal contexts to refer to sums, invoices, or other obligations that remain unsettled.

Usage and scope: In accounting and business, fizetetlen számlák are outstanding invoices; fizetetlen követelések are unpaid receivables or claims against a debtor. In discussions about wages or employment, the phrase may appear in contexts describing overdue payments, though more specific phrasing—such as késedelmes fizetés or kifizetetlen bér—can be preferred depending on the jurisdiction and nuance.

Examples: A vállalatnál több fizetetlen számla halmozódott fel. A vevő késedelmes fizetése miatt az összes hozzá tartozó számla fizetetlen állapotba került. In legal or financial reporting, the amount of fizetetlen követelések is recorded as an asset until collected.

Notes: Fizetetlen is an adjective and describes the payment state of an item; it is contrasted with fizetett or kifizetett (paid). The term is widely understood in everyday use as well as in professional contexts such as accounting, invoicing, and law.
