kivonatot

Kivonatot is the accusative plural form of the Hungarian noun kivonat. The term has two primary senses. In literature, academia, and media, kivonat refers to a concise summary or abstract of a longer text, such as a book, article, or report. In science and industry, kivonat denotes a substance obtained by extracting a material with a solvent, for example a növényi kivonat (plant extract) or gyógyszer-kivonat (medicinal extract). The word also appears in compound terms describing official extracts, such as bankkivonat (bank statement).

Etymology and usage: kivonat is formed from the verb kivonni 'to pull out, extract', with the suffix -at indicating a thing that has been extracted or summarized. The form kivonatot is used when the extract or summary is the direct object in a sentence, as in Adtak neki kivonatot a jelentésből. In Hungarian, the intended meaning is typically clear from context or from accompanying modifiers (növényi, bank-, gyógyszer-).

In translation and cross-linguistic contexts, kivonat may be rendered as 'extract', 'abstract', or 'summary', depending on sense. The term is common in official and everyday language, with specialized forms in legal, pharmaceutical, bibliographic, and academic settings.
