halottnak

Halottnak is a Hungarian word that translates to "dead" or "deceased" in English. It is primarily used as a past participle of the verb "hal" (to die). As such, it describes a state of being no longer alive.

The word can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might say "halott ember" meaning "a dead person" or "halott állat" for "a dead animal." It can also be used in a more figurative sense, though this is less common. For example, it could refer to something that is no longer active or functioning, such as a "halott telefon" (a dead phone) or a "halott projekt" (a dead project).

In legal or medical contexts, "halottnak nyilvánít" translates to "to declare dead." The state of being halott is irreversible and signifies the cessation of all biological functions. The term is a fundamental part of the Hungarian vocabulary for discussing life and death.
