követett

Követett is the past participle of the Hungarian verb követni, meaning “to follow.” It functions as a verbal adjective describing something that has been followed or pursued. The form can be used attributively before a noun (követett út, the route that was followed) or in fixed, formal constructions that refer to procedures, traces, or methods that have been followed.

Grammatical notes: As a participle, követett agrees with the noun it describes in number and, in those contexts, can occur in attributive position. It appears most often in formal, legal, or descriptive writing. In everyday speech, speakers more commonly use the verb követni or alternative phrasing such as amilyen út követtek (the route that was followed) to convey the same idea.

Usage context: The term tends to appear when specifying that a particular route, method, or set of observations has been followed or adhered to. It can describe processes, investigations, or traces left by following something. Because it designates completed following, it is not as common in casual conversation as other forms of követni.

Examples:

- A követett út a hegycsúcsra vezetett. (The route that was followed led to the summit.)

- A követett eljárás szerint döntöttek. (They decided according to the procedure that was followed.)

- A nyomokat a követett nyomok alapján elemezték. (They analyzed the traces based on the traces that were followed.)
