idézett

Idezett is a Hungarian term formed as the past participle of the verb idéz, meaning to quote or cite. It functions as an adjective describing text or statements that have been taken verbatim from another source. The closest related noun is idézet, which means a quotation or quote. Common expressions include idézett szöveg (quoted text) and idézett mondat (quoted sentence). In writing, idézett marks material as originating from another source and presented without modification, often accompanied by a citation.

Etymology and related forms: idézett is derived from the verb idéz with the suffix -ett, sharing a root with the noun idézet. The noun idézet refers to the quotation itself, while idézett describes the quoted content or the act of quoting it. The word structure reflects a distinction between the quotation as a unit (idézet) and the quotation-bearing material (idézett rész, idézett mondat).

Usage and context: In scholarly and journalistic contexts, the distinction between idézet (the quotation) and the quoted material is maintained through phrasing and citation conventions. The quotation is typically enclosed in quotation marks (idézőjel) and linked to a source in notes or a bibliography. Phrases such as idézett rész or idézett forrás highlight that the material has been borrowed from another author.

Examples: Az idézett rész a könyvből származik. A bibliográfiában feltüntetjük az idézett forrás pontos adatait. Az idézetet pontosan úgy kell idézni, ahogy a forrásban megjelent.
