fogyasztva

Fogyasztva is a non-finite verbal participle form of the Hungarian verb fogyasztani, meaning to consume or to use. It is created from the stem fogyaszt- with the suffixes -va or -ve, and it functions as an adverbial participle. This form expresses that the action of consuming has already occurred or happened in conjunction with another action, rather than standing as a finite verb on its own.

In usage, fogyasztva is often found in more formal, literary, or technical contexts. It can indicate a sequence or a resultant state after consumption. In everyday speech, speakers may prefer more common forms such as elfogyasztott (consumed) in finite clauses, but fogyasztva still appears in written texts, instructional material, or legal language to describe conditions created by consumption.

Example: A bort fogyasztva a vendégek távoztak. Translation: Having consumed the wine, the guests left.

Related terms include fogyasztás (consumption), fogyasztó (consumer), and elfogyasztás (the act of consuming). These words cover the actions and agents involved in using resources, food, or goods, whereas fogyasztva specifically marks a non-finite, completed-action relation to another clause.
