kihirdetett

Kihirdetett is the past participle form of the Hungarian verb kihirdet, meaning that something has been proclaimed, announced, or promulgated by an official authority. It is commonly used in legal and administrative contexts to refer to acts that have been officially published and thereby become effective, such as laws, decrees, or regulations. The word combines ki- (a prefix meaning out or forth) with hirdet (to announce or proclaim), followed by the suffix -ett, which marks the past participle.

In practice, kihirdetett is usually used attributively to describe a noun, for example: kihirdetett törvény (a law that has been promulgated) or kihirdetett rendelet (a decree that has been published). The act of publication is typically carried out in an official gazette, such as Hungary’s Magyar Közlöny; after publication, the law or regulation may take effect on a specified date, or immediately if so stated.

The term can be translated into English as promulgated, announced, or proclaimed, depending on context. Related terms include kihirdetés (promulgation/publication) and hirdetni (to proclaim or announce). In legal or historical writing, kihirdetett often signals that a rule or decision has passed from authority to public knowledge and thereby entered the formal process toward enforceability.

Example sentences:

- A törvényt kihirdették, és hatályba lépett. Translation: The law was promulgated and took effect.

- A kihirdetett rendelet új szabályokat ír elő. Translation: The decree, as promulgated, introduces new rules.
