kiállította

Kiállította is a Hungarian verb form meaning either “exhibited” or “issued,” depending on context. It is the third-person singular past tense form of the verb kiállít, which has two main senses: to display or present something publicly, and to issue a document, certificate, invoice, or other official item. The exact meaning of kiállította is determined by the surrounding words, especially the object of the verb.

Etymology and meaning: The verb kiállít is built from ki- (out) and állít (to place or set up), originally conveying the sense of putting something on display or bringing something forth in an official sense. In contemporary Hungarian, kiállította is used when a subject has completed the action in the past for a definite object, such as a known invoice, certificate, or exhibit.

Usage and examples: In a museum context, kiállította can mean that an institution displayed items: A múzeum kiállította a kincseket. In a business context, it can mean to issue a document: A cég kiállította a számlát. The choice between “exhibited” and “issued” is driven by the object and the situation, not by form alone.

Related terms: The infinitive kiállítani, the noun kiállítás (exhibition), and the noun kiállító (exhibitor or issuer) are closely related. The word appears in news reports, museum catalogs, and administrative communications where past actions of issuing or displaying are described.
